Frequently asked questions
Is this free?
Yes. It's free with no account required, limited to a fair-use number of lookups per hour to keep it available for everyone.
Does it work on any YouTube video?
It works on any public video that has captions — either uploaded manually or auto-generated by YouTube. Videos with captions disabled, or private/region-restricted videos, won't work.
Where does the transcript come from?
It's pulled directly from YouTube's own caption track for the video, not generated by re-transcribing the audio — so it's fast and matches what YouTube itself shows in its transcript panel.
Can I download the transcript?
Yes, as a plain .txt file, or copy it straight to your clipboard.
