A YouTube to Text App You Open in the Browser

No install. Paste a public YouTube link and get the transcript. What this transcription app does, and what it leaves alone.

It is a page, not a download

You do not install anything. Open the transcript page, paste a public link, and read the captions as text. Phone or laptop. No account.

What you can do with the text

  • Search a word inside a long video.
  • Keep the timestamp beside the line.
  • Copy it, or export TXT, SRT, PDF, or Word.
  • Ask for a summary when you want the short version first.

What it will not install itself to do

It will not join a call, watch a private video, or transcribe a file from your camera roll. Public YouTube captions only.

Use it on a real video.

Get a transcript or a summary from the captions.
