Turn a YouTube video into text you can read, search, and reference. Just paste a link and get the full transcript with timestamps—perfect for pulling quotes, summarizing content, or finding that one thing someone said.

Works with any public video that has captions enabled, whether auto-generated or manually added. No API keys, no authentication, no setup—just paste and go.


**Limitations:** Only works for videos with captions enabled (auto-generated or manual). Videos without any captions cannot be transcribed.
