Writing tool

YouTube Transcript Generator

Start with a YouTube watch, youtu.be or Shorts URL, then clean public caption text for copying, TXT, VTT or summarizing.

Public captions only: This tool never downloads video. It retrieves captions that YouTube makes public when technically available. If YouTube blocks the request or captions are unavailable, paste captions you have permission to use in the manual cleaner.
