Copy or download the transcript of any YouTube video in one click — as plain text, an SRT subtitle file, or Markdown. ONE CLICK, THREE FORMATS ● Copy — the whole transcript as clean text, ready to paste into ChatGPT, Claude, your notes or a doc ● .txt — plain transcript, with or without timestamps ● .srt — subtitle file with timings, ready for editing software ● .md — Markdown with timestamps, perfect for notes apps HOW IT WORKS Open any YouTube video and click the red Transcript button. The extension reads the transcript YouTube already provides for the video you're watching — no scraping, no external servers, and it works with auto-generated captions too. If a video has no captions, it tells you honestly instead of pretending. PRIVATE BY DESIGN This extension collects no data at all. No account, no sign-up, no tracking, no analytics. Everything happens in your browser — the only permissions it asks for are YouTube pages and remembering your format preference. MADE FOR ● Creators repurposing videos into scripts, blog posts and social content ● Anyone pasting transcripts into ChatGPT, Claude or other AI tools ● Students and researchers quoting and citing videos ● Editors who need an SRT file to start from ● Viewers who'd rather skim than watch FROM THE MAKERS OF VIDEOCORE Turn any transcript into your next script with Script Lab — free at videocore.uk, built on real YouTube performance data. And if you want scores, outlier multipliers and concrete fixes on every video while you browse, try our other extension, VideoCore Lens.
