TranscriptYou

TranscriptYou turns a YouTube link into readable text. Paste a watch page, a youtu.be short link, a Shorts URL or an embed code, and the full transcript appears in a few seconds with a timestamp on every line. The text comes from the caption tracks YouTube already serves for the video, so it matches what viewers see, and you can switch between every language track the video carries. Copy it in one click, download it as .txt or .srt, or hide the timestamps to get running text for notes or for pasting into ChatGPT or Claude. A separate YouTube summarizer adds AI key points above the transcript. Each video gets its own shareable page, so a classmate opens the same transcript from your link.
