FAQ
Is the YouTube transcript tool free?
Yes, it is completely free and needs no signup. Just paste a link.
Does it work for any video?
It works for any public YouTube video that has captions or auto-generated subtitles. If a video has no captions, use the Bitcut app to transcribe from the audio.
Can I download the transcript as SRT?
Yes. You can copy the plain text, or download it as a TXT file or an SRT subtitle file with timestamps.
Do you download or store the video?
No. We only read the public captions track — the video is never downloaded or stored on our servers.
