YouTube Transcript Extractor is a Chrome extension that turns available video captions into readable text. Review a lecture, tutorial, interview, or webinar without manually selecting caption lines or replaying long sections.
What it does
- Extracts accessible manual and automatic captions directly from the YouTube video page
- Keeps timestamps so you can jump back to the corresponding moment
- Copies the full transcript or downloads it for later use
- Makes video content easier to scan for study notes, research, outlines, and show notes
The extension retrieves existing captions rather than generating new ones. Language support and transcript accuracy depend on the captions YouTube makes available for each video.
