Overview

Extracts the full text transcript, including auto-generated captions, from any list of YouTube video URLs. Also returns key video metadata like title, author, and view count for content analysis and repurposing.

This tool extracts the full text transcript from any YouTube video that has captions available. It's built for anyone who needs to analyze, repurpose, or reference the spoken content of videos without spending hours on manual transcription. Simply provide a list of YouTube video or Shorts URLs, and the tool will return the complete transcript for each one. It works with both creator-uploaded subtitles and YouTube's auto-generated captions, giving you access to a massive library of video content. ### More Than Just Text Beyond the raw transcript, the tool also provides valuable metadata for each video. You'll get the video's title, channel author, description, view count, length, and associated keywords. This context is critical for researchers, marketers, and content strategists who need to understand a video's performance and positioning. A key data point returned is a flag indicating if the transcript was auto-generated by YouTube (`isGenerated`). This helps you gauge the potential accuracy of the text, as creator-uploaded transcripts are typically more precise. ### Flexible Output Formats You can choose to receive the transcript in several formats: * **JSON**: A structured format ideal for developers or for use in other applications. * **Text**: Plain text, perfect for pasting into documents or blogs. * **VTT & SRT**: Standard subtitle formats that include timestamps, ideal for creating caption files for other video platforms.
