Transcript Snag

Download YouTube transcripts as .txt or .md. Read beside your video, jump to timestamps, or copy the words.

Keep the words from the videos you watch. Transcript Snag lets you read YouTube transcripts beside your video, jump to specific moments, and download the text as a plain text (.txt) or Markdown (.md) file. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Read along — open the transcript in a simple side panel alongside your video. • Jump to a moment — click a timestamp to go straight to that point. • Take the words with you — download as .txt or .md, or copy the transcript to your clipboard. • Choose your view — show or hide timestamps for reading and exporting. • Switch languages — choose from the caption tracks available on the video. Useful for revisiting tutorials, keeping lecture notes, referencing interviews, or saving a transcript for later. No account or API key required. Transcript Snag uses captions already available on YouTube, including manually added and auto-generated captions. It does not transcribe videos without captions or translate between languages. An independent extension, not affiliated with YouTube or Google.
