FAQ
Is it free?
Each public caption track costs 1 credit to unlock once per account. Reopening, copying and downloads are included. A free signup includes 10 credits, enough for up to 10 minutes of AI transcription. Premium gives you 100 AI credits each month; see the pricing page for the current price.
Why didn't my video work?
The most common reasons are: video unavailable or removed; video not accessible (private, unlisted, or age-restricted); region restrictions; or temporary processing or network issues. Try a different link or report the issue and we'll take a look.
Can you generate a transcript for any YouTube video?
For most public YouTube videos, yes. When YouTube already shows captions, the transcript loads in a few seconds. When captions are missing, AI speech-to-text can generate one. Free accounts include 10 credits, enough for up to 10 minutes of AI transcription; longer videos require additional credits. Private, unlisted, age-restricted, or region-locked videos aren't supported.
Is this affiliated with YouTube?
No, this is an independent tool. We're not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google.
What formats can I download?
Transcripts can be downloaded as plain text (TXT) with or without timestamps, and as SRT or VTT subtitle files for editing and captioning workflows.
How accurate are the transcripts?
Accuracy can vary based on audio clarity, speaker accents, and background noise. If you need the cleanest possible version, try the AI transcript option on the transcript page.
Can I use transcripts for commercial purposes?
The transcript reflects the video's content, which belongs to the creator. Please respect copyright and terms of service when using transcripts. We provide the tool; how you use the transcript is your responsibility.
How do I search within a transcript?
Once you've generated a transcript, you'll see a search box at the top of the transcript viewer. Type your search term and the transcript filters to matching sections with highlighted text, making it easy to jump to specific topics or quotes within long videos.
Can I edit or modify transcripts?
You can copy the transcript text and edit it in any text editor or word processor. You cannot edit transcripts directly on our platform, but you can paste the text into any document and make changes there.
Do you support videos in languages other than English?
Yes. Our service supports a wide range of languages. The transcript will appear in the language spoken in the video.

I have a newsletter for game developers (gameloop.tech), sometimes i'm finding great youtube videos to include, and to easily write an article i need the transcription of the video. Unfortunately, some videos either don't have a transcription or it is just really bad, so i made a tool for myself and later decided to make it public. Later, i also added api to the tool, to pipeline the article generation for youtube videos. My workflow got much faster, was spending an hour a day to make the daily post, now it's maybe 10 minutes max
MediaCaption Breakdown has great potential! A few improvements could make it even better. I'd love to share my feedback and suggestions. WhatsApp: https://wa.me/447307349530 Telegram: t.me/rforrank
