Video Subtitle Scanner

About

Video Subtitle Scanner helps users find and export accessible timed captions from video pages they can already access.

The extension is designed for students, researchers, accessibility users, and viewers who need a structured subtitle timeline for study, note-taking, or review.

Key features:
• Detects subtitle and caption tracks on the active video tab.
• Extracts timed captions when they are available to the browser.
• Exports captions in SRT format.
• Helps create timestamped notes from loaded captions.
• Works locally in the browser.
• Does not require an account.
• Does not upload extracted captions to an external server.

How it works:
Open a video page, enable captions if the site requires it, then click the Video Subtitle Scanner extension icon. The extension scans the active tab for accessible caption data and lets you export available timed captions.

Important limitations:
Video Subtitle Scanner does not bypass paywalls, DRM, login requirements, access controls, or copyright restrictions. It only works with caption data that is available to the browser during normal use of a page. Users are responsible for following the terms of service and copyright rules of the websites they use.

Privacy:
Caption processing happens locally in the browser. The extension does not sell user data and does not transmit extracted captions to any external server.
