Is Youtube Transcripto free to use?

Yes. The current version is completely free with unlimited transcript extraction while we test and improve the product.

How accurate are the transcripts?

Our transcripts are pulled directly from YouTube's caption data, including both manual and auto-generated captions. Manual captions are highly accurate, while auto-generated ones may have occasional errors.

Can I extract transcripts from any YouTube video?

You can extract transcripts from any publicly available YouTube video that has captions enabled. This includes most public videos since YouTube auto-generates captions.

What formats can I download transcripts in?

You can download transcripts as plain text (TXT) or subtitle format (SRT). You can also copy the entire transcript to your clipboard with one click.

Is there a limit on video length?

No. You can extract transcripts from videos of any length — from 30-second clips to 10-hour livestreams.

Can I use this for bulk/channel extraction?

Bulk and channel extraction are not exposed in this test version yet. For now, you can paste individual public YouTube links and generate unlimited transcripts for free.

Not yet. The current public test version is focused on the free web tool. API access can be added later once the product is ready for monetization.
