Two ways to read the text
Timestamped view keeps one line per caption cue with the exact time it was spoken — best when you need to cite a moment or jump back into the video. Plain text view merges everything into flowing paragraphs — best when you are writing, summarising or translating.
Practical uses
- • Turn a webinar into a blog draft.
- • Convert a lecture into revision notes.
- • Pull quotes from an interview with accurate wording.
- • Feed a long talk into a summariser or translator.
- • Make a video's content searchable and accessible.
Questions
Can I get the text without timestamps?
Yes. Switch the transcript to plain text mode and you get clean, continuous prose ready to paste into a document.
Does it work for videos in other languages?
Yes, for any language the video has captions in. All available caption tracks are listed after you generate.
Can I convert a Shorts video to text?
Yes, as long as the Short has captions. Paste the Shorts URL exactly as it appears in your browser.
