Overview

Extracts the full transcript or closed captions from any YouTube video, along with metadata like view count and keywords. Ideal for content research, SEO analysis, and creating derivative content.

Turn any YouTube video's spoken content into structured, usable text. This tool extracts the full transcript from a list of video URLs, giving you the raw material to repurpose, analyze, or research video content without manual transcription. ### Multiple Formats for Any Use Case You can get the transcript in several formats: as a clean text file, with timestamps for each line, or as a raw captions file. This flexibility allows you to easily create blog posts, generate show notes for podcasts, or pinpoint exact quotes within a long video. ### Beyond the Transcript In addition to the text, you can choose to pull valuable metadata for each video. This includes the channel name, publication date, view counts, likes, comments, and the video's description and keywords (tags). This extra data is critical for tasks like competitor analysis, understanding video performance, or tracking keyword trends on the platform. This tool is built for content marketers, SEO specialists, academic researchers, and journalists who need to work with the substance of video content, not just watch it.
