Frequently asked questions

What file formats can I download?

You can download or copy plain text, timestamped text, and SRT subtitles after the transcript is generated.

Why is the download empty for some videos?

The downloader depends on public YouTube caption tracks. Some videos do not expose captions, so there is no transcript file to save.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The transcript downloader runs in the browser. Paste a URL, generate the transcript, and save the output.
