Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a YouTube transcript from a video URL?
Paste the full YouTube URL or 11-character video ID, then fetch: a 40-minute lecture returns its caption track as readable text in seconds. Copy it for notes or summaries. Only public videos with captions enabled work — private, deleted, or caption-less videos return nothing.
Is the video downloaded, and what does analysis cost?
Your video URL goes to the captions API for fetching, then the transcript is analyzed by the AI API — 1 credit per video (the 5-credit trial covers 5 videos; Pro gets 200 monthly; anonymous blocked). Nothing is stored or shared, and no watch history or account data is ever touched.
What if a YouTube video has no captions?
Many popular videos carry auto or manual captions; videos without any return an honest empty result instead of fabricated text. For caption-less videos, download the audio and run it through a transcription tool (1 credit per minute) instead — that path handles any spoken audio.
Can I use YouTube transcripts for notes and quotes?
Yes for study and reference: a 10,000-word lecture transcript condenses to a one-page summary with timestamps you can cite. For republication, captions belong to the creator — quote briefly with attribution rather than reposting full transcripts.
