Generate Transcript from YouTube Video
Generate a transcript from any YouTube video with ChatTube. Access accurate subtitles for any video, including those without existing captions.
Transcripts can be translated into your native language. You can also export them with one click to support your research workflows.
The YouTube transcription service that gets it done
YouTube's built-in transcript feature falls short for many users. It only covers the basics and makes things harder than they need to be. There's no simple way to copy text on mobile devices, and you can't download transcripts directly.
The bigger issue is that not all videos even have transcripts available. For those that don't, you're stuck doing manual transcription work just to get the text you need.
ChatTube takes care of this problem. You paste in the video URL, click summarize, and you get the transcript. That's it. No extra steps, no workarounds needed.
Fast, reliable transcripts
Get a clean transcript of any YouTube video in a few clicks. Here's how it works:
- Copy the YouTube video URL and paste it into the input field, then click Summarize.
- Sign up or log in if you do not have an account yet.
- Click “Chat with this video now” to open the interactive view for that video.
- Under the video, open the “Transcript” tab to see the full text.
Once you have the transcript, you can copy it directly or export it to different formats like TXT and PDF.
Works with any YouTube video
Use ChatTube with any YouTube video you come across. Some videos already have official captions, and ChatTube grabs those instantly.
