What output formats does Transcriptifyyt support?

Transcriptifyyt exports transcripts as plain text (TXT), SubRip subtitles (SRT), and structured JSON. TXT is best for reading and pasting into docs, SRT works directly in video editors and players for captions, and JSON preserves every cue with start/end timestamps for developers and automation pipelines.

How accurate are the transcripts?

Transcriptifyyt uses the official caption tracks YouTube provides for a video. When the uploader supplied a human-written transcript, accuracy is essentially perfect. When only YouTube's auto-generated captions are available, accuracy depends on audio quality, accents, and background noise — typically 85–95% on clear speech.

Can Transcriptifyyt extract transcripts from private or unlisted videos?

No. Transcriptifyyt can only access transcripts for public YouTube videos that have captions enabled. Private videos, members-only videos, and videos with disabled captions cannot be processed. Unlisted videos work as long as you have the link and captions are enabled.

Do the transcripts include timestamps?

Yes. Every transcript includes precise timestamps for each caption cue. The SRT and JSON exports preserve full start and end times, while the TXT view shows timestamps inline so you can jump to any moment in the original video.

Is Transcriptifyyt free to use?

Yes. Transcriptifyyt is completely free to use with no signup, no credit card, and no installation. You can extract unlimited transcripts and download them in any supported format directly in your browser.

Does Transcriptifyyt support languages other than English?

Yes. Transcriptifyyt extracts whichever caption tracks YouTube provides for the video, including multilingual tracks and translations. If a video has captions in Spanish, French, Japanese, or any other language, Transcriptifyyt will return them with the same formatting and timestamp options.
