Get the full transcript of any YouTube video with timestamps. Copy, search, and export in seconds. Free and no sign-up required.
Paste any YouTube URL — videos, shorts, playlists, and embeds
Getting a YouTube video transcript is simple with the right tool. While YouTube has a built-in transcript feature (click the three dots below a video → Show Transcript), it's limited — you can't search, export, or process the text easily. YTTranscript.AI solves this by extracting the complete transcript in a clean, searchable format with one click. Just paste the URL above and get the full text with timestamps instantly.
YouTube's native transcript viewer is basic — it shows text in a sidebar that you can't easily copy or export. It doesn't support searching within the transcript, exporting to subtitle formats, or AI-powered analysis. YTTranscript.AI gives you the full transcript in a clean interface where you can search for any word, copy specific sections or the entire text, export as TXT/SRT/VTT, and use AI tools for summaries, quizzes, mindmaps, and more. Plus, bulk extraction lets you process entire playlists.
People get YouTube transcripts for many reasons: creating meeting notes from recorded calls, studying from lecture videos, quoting interviews accurately, repurposing video content into written articles, creating subtitles for video editing, analyzing competitor content, building training materials, generating social media posts from video highlights, and making video content accessible to deaf or hard-of-hearing audiences.
Paste the YouTube URL in the box above and click 'Extract Transcript'. The complete text with timestamps appears in 2-3 seconds. You can then copy, search, or export it.
