YouTubeScribe is a web application that generates transcripts from YouTube videos by accessing the existing caption track, which may be auto-generated or uploaded by the creator. The transcript is displayed with timestamps and can be copied or downloaded. The service is free for basic use, with no account required for the first transcript each day. The tool supports multiple export formats. Free users can download transcripts as TXT or SRT files, which include timestamps. Pro users have access to VTT, Markdown, and JSON formats. Users can toggle timestamps on or off for reading or copying. The tool works with public and unlisted videos and supports various YouTube URL formats, including Watch, Shorts, youtu.be, embed, and mobile share links. Typical use cases include transcribing lectures, podcasts, interviews, and Shorts. The workflow involves pasting a YouTube link, selecting a format, and copying or downloading the transcript. The tool does not store any data on its servers. It supports 125 languages and provides clear feedback if a video has no caption track, such as music-only uploads or very short Shorts. Technical requirements include a public YouTube link with a caption track. Private or members-only videos are not supported. The tool offers unlimited transcripts for free, with no daily cap. Pro features include batch exports for playlists and channels, saved history, and collections. The pricing is based on credits for AI tools, but the transcript generation itself remains free.
