Can I really get a free transcript from podcasts videos?

Yes. Transcriptifyyt is 100% free for any public YouTube video that has captions enabled — including auto-generated ones. There's no signup, no Premium requirement, and no install.

What formats can I download the transcript in?

You can copy the transcript inline, or download it as TXT (plain text), SRT (subtitle file for video editors), or JSON (perfect for scripts, search indexes, and AI workflows).

Will it work if the video has only auto-generated captions?

Yes. If a creator hasn't uploaded manual captions, Transcriptifyyt returns YouTube's auto-generated transcript. Quality depends on the original audio but works for the vast majority of public podcasts videos.

Are timestamps included?

Every transcript comes with timestamps for each segment. Click any timestamp inside Transcriptifyyt to jump to that exact moment in the video.

Is it legal to download transcripts from podcasts videos?

Captions are publicly available on YouTube. Using transcripts for personal study, accessibility, research, note-taking, and fair-use quoting is generally fine. For redistribution or commercial republishing, respect the original creator's copyright.
