About CopyVideoText – Copy Text & Code from Any Video
Copy text from any video in one click.
CopyVideoText finds every word shown in a video (slides, code, subtitles, phone numbers, links) and copies it for you. Press "Copy text" on a video, and all the text is found, selected and copied to your clipboard. Want just one line? Click it.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Copy code from programming tutorials with the indentation kept (Python, JavaScript, SQL, HTML and more)
- Copy text from lecture slides, webinars and online lessons
- Copy subtitles and captions, including Arabic and other languages
- Save phone numbers, emails, links and addresses shown in a video
HOW IT WORKS
1. Move your mouse over a video and press the small "Copy text" button (or Alt+Shift+C)
2. The video pauses and all the text is found, selected and copied
3. Click a single line to copy only that line, or drag a box around any area
FEATURES
- One click: no screenshots, no retyping, no drawing boxes
- Code mode: keeps indentation and fixes common mix-ups like O/0 and curly quotes
- Automatic language detection: English and Arabic built in; more languages download once when needed
- Reads outlined subtitles and small, faint text
- History with timestamps: every copy is saved with the exact moment in the video; click the time to jump back
- Search your history and export your notes to Markdown or plain text
- The button hides itself like the player controls, and you can switch it off anytime
- Light and dark mode
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Text is read on your own computer. Your videos, screenshots and copied text are never uploaded, and there is no tracking. Your history stays in your browser.
GOOD TO KNOW
Some paid streaming services block screen capture for all extensions, so their videos can't be read.
