Podcast Transcript from YouTube
Get a readable transcript for a podcast episode that is hosted on YouTube with captions.
At a glance
Transkripe works with public YouTube links. If a podcast episode has YouTube captions or subtitles, Transkripe can load the transcript so you can search, copy or download the text.
This is not an audio upload tool. Spotify-only episodes, private feeds and videos without captions are not transcribed automatically.
