TextLift

YouTube transcripts. One click. Also exports archived live-chat replays. No accounts; chat export contacts youtube.com only.

YouTube transcripts. One click. TextLift copies a video's available transcript with timestamps or saves it as a plain-text file. It also exports available chat replays from finished livestreams. TRANSCRIPTS • Copy available transcript entries to your clipboard. • Download transcripts as TXT files. • Keep timestamps and repeated spoken lines. • Include the video title and URL. ARCHIVED CHAT REPLAYS • Download the available unfiltered chat replay as TXT. • Preserve replay timestamps, display names, message text, emoji shortcuts, and supported paid-message and membership events. • Follow export progress and cancel when needed. • Save clearly labeled partial results if retrieval is interrupted. No TextLift account, subscription, or API key is required. Chat export makes requests directly to youtube.com. Transcripts and chat exports are processed in your browser and aren't sent to Quiet Relay. Caption and chat replay availability depend on YouTube. TextLift cannot recover deleted messages or captions that YouTube doesn't provide. Chat export is for finished streams with available replays, not ongoing live streams. Tested in Chrome and Vivaldi.
