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.

How do I download subtitles from a YouTube video?

Paste the video URL into Transcriptifyyt and click Get transcripts. Then choose Download → SRT to get a standard subtitle file with proper start/end timing, ready to use in any video editor or media player.

What file format are the subtitles in?

Subtitles are downloaded as SubRip (.srt), the most widely supported subtitle format. You can also download as plain text (.txt) or structured JSON. SRT works in Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, VLC, OBS, Vimeo, and YouTube re-uploads.

Can I download subtitles in different languages?

If the YouTube video has captions in the language you need — either uploaded by the creator or auto-translated by YouTube — Transcriptifyyt will download them. This is the easiest way to grab translated subtitles for foreign-language videos.

Does the SRT include accurate timestamps?

Yes. Each subtitle line includes start and end timestamps in standard SRT format (HH:MM:SS,mmm). You can drop the file directly into any editor and the captions will sync to the original video.

Can I download subtitles from multiple videos at once?

Yes. Paste up to 10 YouTube URLs at a time and use the bulk Download all as ZIP option. Each video's subtitles are exported as a separate .srt file inside the archive.

Is downloading YouTube subtitles allowed?

Captions are public on YouTube and downloading them for personal use, accessibility, study notes, translation, or fair-use quoting is generally fine. For redistribution or commercial republishing of someone else's video, respect the original creator's copyright.

Why download subtitles instead of burning them in?

Soft subtitles (a separate .srt file) are far more flexible than hard-coded captions baked into the video. Viewers can toggle them on or off, choose their language, and search the text. Editors can restyle them. Translators can swap them out. And accessibility tools can read them aloud. An .srt download is the universal currency for video captions.

Use cases for downloaded YouTube subtitles

Video editors pull captions to match a re-cut. Translators use SRT as a starting point for new language tracks. Course creators repurpose lecture captions into transcript handouts. Localization teams batch-download subtitles for QA. Researchers feed subtitle tracks into NLP pipelines. Each of these workflows starts with a clean SRT file — that's what Transcriptifyyt is built to deliver.
