Copy YouTube Transcript

About

📋 Copy available transcripts from YouTube videos, Shorts, and completed live-stream replays with one click. Works when YouTube provides a caption track for the video.

Tired of scrolling through the transcript panel or copying captions line by line? Copy YouTube Transcript grabs the entire transcript instantly and copies it to your clipboard — or saves it as a clean .txt file — ready to paste into your notes, a document, or an AI assistant like ChatGPT or Claude.
