FAQ
Can I get the transcript of a YouTube video with timestamps?
Yes — every line starts with its time code. Untick “timestamps” to copy clean text.
Is it really free?
Yes. Getting, copying and downloading transcripts is free with no daily limit and no sign-up.
Why does a video say "no transcript"?
We show the captions YouTube has for the video — uploaded by the creator or generated automatically. If a video has neither (common for music-only clips, very new uploads or videos where the creator turned captions off), there is nothing to show yet.
Do you store my data?
No account, no tracking cookies. We only cache the public transcript of a video for a day so repeat requests load faster.
