Transcription is fast because the extension reads YouTube's own captions/subtitles; nothing is recorded or uploaded. FAQ Does it work on any video? It transcribes any video that has captions — manual or auto-generated — which covers the vast majority of YouTube. For videos without captions, or for your own audio and voice recordings, the SozAI mobile app transcribes the audio itself. Which languages are supported? Any language YouTube has captions for — English, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, Arabic, Japanese and dozens more. Can I download YouTube subtitles? Yes — export the transcript as an SRT subtitle file, plain TXT, or Markdown. Is it really free? Yes. You get a monthly allowance of free transcripts with no account. Need unlimited transcription, file uploads or meeting recording? That's the SozAI app. PRIVACY No signup. No personal data. The extension sends only the video URL to our server to fetch and process the captions. Full policy: https://sozai.app/privacy/ Questions or feedback: https://sozai.app/contacts/
