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.

What is a YouTube transcript?

A YouTube transcript is the full written record of everything spoken in a video, paired with timestamps. It is generated either from creator-uploaded captions or from YouTube's automatic speech recognition system.

How do I view the transcript of a YouTube video?

Inside YouTube you can click the three-dot menu under a video and choose 'Show transcript'. To get a clean, copyable, downloadable version, paste the URL into Transcriptifyyt — you'll get a timestamped transcript ready to copy or export.

Can I get a YouTube transcript without YouTube Premium?

Yes. Transcripts are publicly available for any video that has captions enabled, and Transcriptifyyt works without any YouTube subscription, account, or browser extension.

Does it work for auto-generated captions?

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

Can I get YouTube transcripts in other languages?

Yes. If the video has captions in the language you need (manual or auto-translated), Transcriptifyyt will fetch them. Common supported languages include English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Hindi, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, and many more.

Is using a YouTube transcript legal?

Captions are public on YouTube, and 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.

Why people pull YouTube transcripts

Students turn long lectures into searchable study notes. Journalists quote interviews accurately without rewinding. Creators repurpose podcast episodes into blog posts and newsletters. Researchers analyze hours of conference talks. Accessibility teams generate clean text for screen readers. A transcript turns a linear video into something you can scan, search, and reuse.

What makes Transcriptifyyt different

Most transcript tools either lock features behind a subscription or push you to install a browser extension. Transcriptifyyt runs in the browser, requires no signup, supports bulk extraction, and gives you timestamps you can actually click. Your data isn't stored — extractions are stateless and processed on demand.
