FAQ

How does the YouTube transcript downloader work?

Our service retrieves the captions or subtitles available for public YouTube videos, formats the transcript, and returns the result in real time. Single videos are immediate, while channels and playlists are processed in parallel for bulk downloads.

Can I download transcripts from an entire YouTube channel?

Yes. You can download transcripts from entire YouTube channels or playlists in bulk. A channel with 1000 videos typically takes about 1 to 2 minutes to process.

What is a credit and how many do I need?

A credit is consumed for each video transcript you extract. For example, if you extract transcripts from a channel with 50 videos, you will use 50 credits. Credits never expire, and you get 10 free credits to start.

How accurate are the YouTube transcripts?

The accuracy depends on the quality of the original captions. For videos with professional captions, the accuracy is very high. For auto-generated captions, the accuracy varies based on factors like audio quality, accents, and background noise.

Do I need a YouTube API key or account?

No. You do not need to provide an API key or link your YouTube account. Just paste a video, channel, or playlist URL and start downloading transcripts.

How long does it take to extract transcripts?

For single videos, extraction is almost instant. For channels or playlists, the time depends on the number of videos. A channel with 1000 videos typically takes about 1-2 minutes to process.
