Brightspace Transcript Saver

About

Brightspace Transcript Saver helps you export text from the built-in transcript or captions panel in D2L Brightspace course videos.

How to use
1. In Brightspace, open a video and open its Transcript (or Captions) panel so the text is visible.
2. Click the extension icon, then “Pull transcript.”
3. Copy to the clipboard or download a .txt file.

Notes
• Works on the page you have open when you use the extension; it does not run in the background on all websites.
• If nothing is found, make sure the transcript panel is open and expanded before pulling.
• Designed for Brightspace / D2L; other sites may work if they use a similar transcript UI.

Privacy
The extension reads the visible transcript text only when you click Pull. It does not collect or transmit your data to a server.
