About

YT Transcript Scraper grabs the complete transcript of any YouTube video — including Shorts — with a single click.

WHAT IT DOES
• Click the toolbar icon on any YouTube video, then "Scrape Transcript"
• The full timestamped transcript appears right in the popup
• A .txt copy (with the video title and URL) downloads automatically
• One "Copy All" button puts the whole transcript on your clipboard

WORKS ON SHORTS
YouTube Shorts don't show a transcript panel. This extension automatically re-opens the same video in the standard player, scrapes it, and saves the result — no manual steps.

GREAT FOR
• Feeding transcripts into ChatGPT, Claude, or other AI tools for summaries
• Research, note-taking, and building a searchable archive
• Translating, quoting, or repurposing video content

PRIVACY
Everything happens locally in your browser. The extension only runs on youtube.com, never collects or transmits your data, and saves transcripts only to your own computer.
