What is YT Transcript?
Most YouTube transcript tools are either slow, require logins, force you through ads, or make you install a browser extension. I built this tool because I just wanted something simple: paste a YouTube link → get the transcript instantly. It works only when the video already has captions available (so there’s no auto transcription guesswork). When captions exist, it returns a clean transcript you can immediately copy or download.
