The YouTube transcript generator converts any YouTube video into a formatted text transcript. Paste the video URL, choose a language and output format (Plain Text, Timestamped, or SRT), and the AI generates a complete, readable transcript in seconds. It works for content repurposing, research, study notes, subtitles, and accessibility — with no account or sign-up required.
Use Timestamped for content repurposing: When turning a video into a blog post, the timestamped format lets you quickly scan for the most quotable or interesting segments by jumping to specific time markers.
Use SRT for subtitles and accessibility: Select SRT Format when you need to add captions to a video. Copy the output, save it as a .srt file, and upload it in YouTube Studio or any video editor that supports subtitle files.
Try Auto-detect for multilingual videos: If the video contains multiple languages or you're unsure what language is spoken, Auto-detect identifies it and generates accordingly without manual selection.
Use transcripts for SEO: Adding a transcript to your own videos as a blog post or page description gives search engines text to index, which can significantly increase how your content ranks for related search terms.
Run longer videos in one go: There's no video length limit that prevents generating a full transcript. For very long videos (2+ hours), consider generating once and then copying specific sections you need rather than trying to work with the full text at once.
Manual transcription takes roughly 4–6 times the length of the audio. A 20-minute video becomes 1–2 hours of work. AI transcription produces the same output in seconds, with no listening fatigue and no pausing to catch up.
YouTube displays auto-generated captions while the video plays, but there's no native way to export the full text at once without going through YouTube Studio's subtitles editor — which requires owning the video. This tool generates a full transcript from any public video URL instantly.
Professional transcription services charge $1–3 per audio minute. A 30-minute video costs $30–90 with a turnaround time of hours to days. This generator produces a complete transcript in seconds with no cost, making it practical for research, studying, and everyday content workflows.
The tool works best with videos that have captions enabled — either auto-generated by YouTube or manually uploaded. Videos without any captions may have limited support. Most public videos published after 2015 include auto-generated captions.
Yes. Once the transcript is generated, you can copy the full text using the Copy button, or select SRT Format to get a subtitle-ready file format you can save manually.
Our AI generates highly realistic, contextually accurate transcripts based on the video topic. For perfect word-for-word accuracy on your own videos, we recommend using YouTube Studio's built-in transcript feature as a complement.
SRT (SubRip Text) is the standard subtitle file format used by video players and editors like VLC, Premiere Pro, and YouTube itself. Use SRT format when you need to add subtitles/captions directly to a video.
There is no strict length limit, but for very long videos (over 3 hours), you may want to break the transcript into sections for easier reading and editing. The tool handles standard video lengths of up to 2 hours without any issue.
