Copy or download the transcript of any YouTube video — TXT, SRT, Markdown. One click, free, and no data collected.
+ Add to Chrome — FreeA small Transcript button appears on every YouTube video and Short. Click it and the full transcript is read straight from YouTube's own transcript panel — no separate website, no pasting links.
Copy to clipboard as plain text, or download as .txt, .srt (subtitles) or .md (Markdown with the video link). A checkbox controls whether timestamps are included.
The extension reads the transcript YouTube already renders for you. It calls no servers of its own and collects no data — the transcript goes to your clipboard or your downloads folder, nowhere else.
Any video with captions — regular uploads, Shorts, auto-generated or creator-uploaded caption tracks.
It works on any video that has captions — which is most of YouTube, because YouTube auto-generates captions for the majority of uploads. If the uploader has disabled captions entirely, there is no transcript to read and the extension says so honestly.
Creator-uploaded captions are exact wording with real punctuation. Auto-generated ones are YouTube's speech recognition — very good, but brand names and jargon are sometimes mis-transcribed. The extension gives you whichever track the video has.
Free, no limits, no account. It is built by VideoCore as a genuinely useful tool — if you later want the transcript analysed rather than just downloaded, that is what Script Lab is for.
Yes — the panel links straight into VideoCore Script Lab, which decodes the script against real performance data: where the exit points are, how the pacing holds up, and what to fix. The analysis is free.
Real analytics, script decoding, idea mining and revenue attribution for your channel — built on measured data, never generic guesses. The core tools are free to try.
