The whole transcript, with timestamps

Every line of the video's captions, grouped into easy-to-read paragraphs. Click any timestamp to play the video from that moment, search for a word to jump to where it's said, and hide timestamps when you only want the text.

A quick summary of the key points

The Summary tab picks the most representative sentence from each part of the video, so you can see what it covers in a few seconds. Chapters and the topics mentioned most are listed too, and everything links back to the right moment.

Copy it or download TXT and SRT

Copy the transcript or the summary in one click, download a TXT file for notes or an AI tool, or an SRT subtitle file you can load in VLC, Premiere or CapCut. Uploaded captions and YouTube's auto-generated captions in the original language both work, with a language picker when there are several.
