How to get a transcript from a YouTube video
Paste any YouTube video URL into the generator and our AI extracts the audio and converts it into a clean, readable transcript. It works with any public YouTube video — tutorials, podcasts, interviews, lectures, or vlogs — regardless of length.
Once your transcript is ready, copy it or download it as a file. Use it for blog posts, show notes, study guides, subtitles, or social media captions.
Why transcribe your YouTube videos?
YouTube is the second largest search engine, but Google can’t watch your videos. Publishing a transcript alongside your content helps you rank for the keywords your audience is searching, driving more organic traffic to your channel.
Transcripts also make your content accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers, and give you raw material to repurpose into blog posts, newsletters, and social threads without writing from scratch.
How accurate are YouTube video transcripts?
Our AI delivers 95%+ accuracy on clear audio and handles background music, multiple speakers, and varying accents better than YouTube’s built-in auto-captions. The model is trained on real-world recordings, not just clean studio audio.
The output reads naturally with proper punctuation and sentence structure, so you spend minutes polishing instead of hours rewriting garbled auto-generated text.
