Generate a clean, readable transcript from any public YouTube video — with click-to-jump timestamps and one-click export to TXT, SRT, or VTT.
watch, Shorts, youtu.be, or embed links — the URL must resolve to a single video ID.
YouTube Transcript Generator turns the spoken audio of any public YouTube video into a clean, scannable transcript. Paste a watch URL, Shorts link, or 11-character video ID, and the transcript is ready in seconds — no manual typing, no third-party app to install.
The output keeps timestamps on every line so you can jump straight to that moment in the video, and the active line stays in sync as the video plays. Copy a single line, copy the full script, or download as plain text (.txt), .srt, or .vtt for editing, blog posts, study notes, captions, and content workflows.
Built for creators, students, and researchers who want the words behind a video without scrubbing the timeline.
Every line is anchored to a timestamp; click it to seek the player, and the active line auto-highlights as the video plays.
Copy the full transcript as plain text or download as .txt, .srt, or .vtt to edit captions in any video editor.
Read the transcript while the video is playing and click any line to jump straight to that moment — no extra tabs, no copy-pasting.
Just the words — no junk lines, no upsells inserted, no extra characters added to your transcript.
Drop any YouTube watch URL, Shorts URL, youtu.be link, or the raw 11-character video ID into the input.
Click "Generate Transcript" and the words load in seconds, ready to scroll, search, and click any line to jump the player.
Read with timestamps, copy any line or the full script, or export as TXT, SRT, or VTT for editing elsewhere.
