Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our free YouTube transcript service.
Yes, absolutely. Our tool is 100% free to use without any hidden costs or limitations. You can generate as many YouTube transcripts as you need, no sign-up required. We believe in making information accessible to everyone.
The accuracy of the transcript depends on the source captions provided on the YouTube video. For videos with high-quality, manually created captions, the transcript will be very accurate. For auto-generated captions, the accuracy is generally good but may contain some errors, especially with complex audio or multiple speakers.
You can get a transcript for almost any YouTube video that has captions or subtitles available, whether they are manually added by the creator or auto-generated by YouTube. If a video has no captions at all, our tool won't be able to generate a transcript.
You can download the full YouTube video transcript as a plain text (.txt) file, a SubRip Subtitle (.srt) file with timestamps, or a WebVTT (.vtt) file. These formats are suitable for a wide range of uses, from reading and analysis to creating video subtitles.
A YouTube transcript is incredibly versatile. Content creators can use it for blog posts to improve SEO. Students and researchers can use it for studying and citing information. Journalists can easily pull quotes. You can also use it to create subtitles, translate content, or simply to read the video's content quickly.
No, you don't need to install anything. Our YouTube transcript generator is a fully web-based tool. All you need is your web browser. Just paste the video URL and our tool handles the entire process online.
