How it works
- 01
Paste the YouTube video URL in the box above.
- 02
Click “Transcribe for free”. The transcript appears in a few seconds.
- 03
Search, copy, edit, or export it as TXT, SRT, VTT, PDF or DOCX.
Copy and download your transcript
Every line is time-coded: click a timestamp and the embedded player jumps to that second, so you can verify a quote or re-watch a passage without scrubbing. The search box highlights every match instantly, even in a two-hour lecture.
Copy the full text in one click or export it as TXT for notes, SRT and VTT for subtitles, PDF and DOCX for documents. Timestamps are optional in text exports and always exact in subtitle files.
Summarize with AI
Transcripts come from the captions YouTube publishes, manual or auto-generated, so the result is available in seconds and costs nothing. When a video has no captions, upload the file and the AI engine takes over.
Once the transcript is ready, one click generates a summary, key points or chapters, grounded only in what was said and linked to the exact timestamps. Pro and Business plans add translations, meeting notes, blog articles and an AI chat over the transcript.
