What this page does
Paste a watch link (or a bare video ID) and this page turns a YouTube video transcript into text you can copy or export. It reads captions that already exist on the video, then shows the full script on one screen.
Use it when you need readable text from a talk, tutorial, or clip without scrubbing the player by hand.
How to use
- Copy the YouTube video link (or the 11-character video ID).

FAQ
Is this a youtube to transcript converter?
Yes. You paste a YouTube URL; the page returns the transcript text so you can copy or download it.
Can I use a Shorts link?
Yes, as long as the URL contains a normal video ID.
Why is there no transcript?
The video may have captions turned off, or YouTube may not expose a caption track for it. Try a video that shows captions in the YouTube player.
Do you keep a history of my links?
No. This page does not create accounts or save past jobs.
