About YouTube Transcript Sync

YouTube Transcript Sync adds a focused transcript side panel to YouTube videos. Open any video, click the extension, and read the available captions directly beside the player without ever leaving the page. Perfect for deep learning, research, and seamless note-taking. Why You Need This: Tired of YouTube resetting your subtitle language? If you are bilingual or learning a new language, you know the struggle of YouTube constantly reverting to auto-translated captions. Our extension fixes this by remembering your specific language preference for different videos. Struggling to take notes from long tutorials? Stop pausing and switching tabs. Read the full text in a clean side panel, control the video playback without moving your mouse, and push everything to your workspace in seconds. 🌟 Key Features: 📺 Read & Sync: Read YouTube captions in a clean, scrollable side panel. The text automatically syncs and highlights as the video plays. 🖱️ Click to Seek: Want to rewatch a specific part? Simply click any timestamped line in the transcript to jump straight to that exact moment in the video. 🧠 Smart Language Memory: Switch between original and auto-translated subtitle tracks. The extension smartly remembers your language preference so you don't have to change it every time. 🎮 Built-in Player Controls: Play, pause, jump back 10 seconds, or skip forward directly from the side panel toolbar. 📝 One-Click Notion Integration: Send the entire transcript text instantly to an open Notion page. Perfect for building your personal knowledge base. ⚡ Pro Export Tools: Need raw data? Pro users can easily download transcripts as .txt or .json files, or copy the formatted text directly to the clipboard. 🎯 Who is this for? Language Learners: Easily switch to bilingual setups or target languages. Read along at your own pace without the captions disappearing from the screen. Students & Researchers: Turn long lectures, documentaries, and tutorials into searchable text. Highlight and sync data effortlessly. Note-takers & Notion Users: Push valuable video content directly into your Notion workspace for future reference and organization. 💎 Free vs. Pro: Free Tier: Enjoy the core experience completely free. This includes the synced side panel, built-in playback controls, smart language switching, and the Notion send-to-page feature. Pro Tier: Designed for power users who need data portability. Unlock the ability to download .txt and .json files, and use 1-click clipboard copy actions from the options page. 🚀 How to Use: Install the extension and pin it to your browser toolbar. Open any YouTube video that has closed captions (CC). Click the extension icon to open the side panel and start reading! 🔒 Privacy & Notes: We respect your privacy. All transcript processing happens locally in your browser. We do not track your browsing history or collect personal data. Note: Transcripts and auto-translation features depend on the caption tracks provided by the YouTube video creator and YouTube's built-in translation availability.
