FAQ
How does YouTubeTranscript.dev extract YouTube transcripts?
We pull directly from YouTube's caption data, supporting both auto-generated and manually uploaded subtitles in over 80 languages. If default captions aren't available, we use advanced AI-powered audio transcription to generate accurate transcripts from the video's audio track.
What if a video doesn't have subtitles available?
No problem! When YouTube captions aren't available, we use advanced AI speech recognition to transcribe directly from the video's audio track. You'll get accurate transcripts for virtually any video, even those without subtitles.
How many transcripts can I extract with the free plan?
You can extract up to 10 YouTube transcripts completely free: no credit card required.
What formats can I download transcripts in?
We support plain text (TXT), subtitles (SRT, VTT), and structured data (JSON). All formats include accurate timestamps.
Can I translate transcripts to other languages?
Yes! Our AI-powered translation feature supports 100+ languages. Translate any transcript with one click.
What is the Concept Map feature?
Concept Map automatically generates a visual diagram of key concepts and themes from your transcript, helping you understand content structure at a glance.
How does the transcript extraction work?
We use our own proprietary infrastructure to extract transcripts from YouTube videos. We retrieve caption data and process it with advanced features like word-level timestamps, automatic paragraph formatting, and sentiment analysis. For videos without captions, our AI speech recognition handles the transcription. We support both auto-generated and manually uploaded transcripts.
Can I extract transcripts from private or unlisted videos?
Yes, as long as you have access to view the video. Simply paste the full URL (including any access parameters) into YouTubeTranscript.dev. However, you must have permission to view the video - we cannot bypass YouTube's privacy restrictions.
What formats and features are available?
We support multiple download formats: Plain Text (.txt), JSON (.json), SubRip (.srt), and WebVTT (.vtt). Advanced features include word-level timestamps for precise navigation, automatic paragraph formatting for better readability, and sentiment analysis to understand the emotional tone of the content. All formats and features are available on all plans including the free tier.
Is there an API I can use?
Yes! All plans include API access. You can find your API key in your account settings after logging in. Our API documentation includes examples in multiple programming languages and detailed endpoint descriptions. The free plan has a rate limit of 1 request per second, Basic includes 25 requests per second, Pro includes 50 requests per second, and Business includes 100 requests per second.
