About YouTube Transcript Helper

YouTube Transcript Utility enhances the usability of YouTube transcripts, making it ideal for those who watch YouTube for language learning purposes and frequently use transcripts. 1. Shortcut Keys to Open and Close YouTube Transcripts Shortcut keys provide quick access to YouTube transcripts. Normally, to open a YouTube transcript, you must open the video description section and click on the "Show Transcript" button. By using shortcut keys, you can bypass these steps. The default key is Ctrl + S, but you can set your preferred shortcut key from Extensions > Keyboard Shortcut Settings (chrome://extensions/shortcuts). 2. Automatic Activation of YouTube Transcripts The transcript will open as soon as the YouTube video page loads. This feature is designed for users who find it tedious to manually open the transcript each time. This function can be optionally toggled on or off. 3. Automatic Selection of Preferred Languages for YouTube Transcripts If multiple languages are available for the transcript, this feature will automatically select your preferred language. You can set this option by specifying your "Preferred Languages". Note: The text for the preferred languages must be entered in the language of your YouTube environment. For example, if your YouTube environment language is English and you want to select Japanese for the transcript, enter "Japanese". If your YouTube environment language is Japanese and you want to select English for the transcript, enter "英語".
