About Transcript Collector
Quickly extract, copy, and export the transcript of the YouTube video you are watching.
Transcript Collector works directly from the current YouTube page and processes transcript information in your browser. There is no account to create and no separate transcript service to sign in to.
Features:
• Automatically detects the YouTube video you are watching
• Extracts available YouTube captions and transcript text
• Includes video title, channel, and a clean YouTube URL
• Includes chapter titles and timestamps when the video provides chapters
• Copy the transcript with timestamps
• Copy clean transcript text without timestamps
• Optionally include or remove the source header
• Download transcripts as TXT
• Export structured transcript data as JSON
• Export subtitles as SRT or VTT
• Works without requiring you to manually open YouTube’s transcript panel
Privacy focused:
Transcript extraction happens on your device. Transcript Collector does not require an account and does not send your extracted transcripts to a developer operated transcript server.
Transcript Collector only works when transcript or caption information is available for the video.
For all those “what did they say?” moments, Transcript Collector makes it easy to find, copy, and save exactly what was said.
Designed for the curious, students, teachers, researchers, professionals, and anyone who wants an easier way to save, reference, or work with YouTube transcripts.
