Copying a transcript by hand is painful
Pausing every few seconds, scrubbing back, retyping what you just heard. Or pasting a video link into some sketchy site and hoping it works. This reads the video for you and hands you the full text in seconds, without leaving the page.
How it works
Three steps, a few seconds. No file to upload, no software to install.
Open any video
A YouTube video, a TikTok, a Vimeo, a Loom recording, a lecture, a webinar. Anything playing in your browser.
Click the icon
The extension reads the audio or the captions and builds a complete transcript with AI speech recognition.
Copy or export
Get clean, readable text in the side panel, laid out by speaker. Export it as Word, TXT or SRT subtitles, ready to use.
Works where you watch
One extension, most of the web. Public videos or content behind a login.
Why people use it
Built to do one job well: get spoken words into text you can actually use.
Export to Word, not just text
Save a clean, formatted .docx Word document, or TXT or SRT subtitles. Most transcript tools stop at plain text, this one doesn't.
Laid out by speaker
Every turn is labeled by speaker with a timestamp, so you get a readable script, not one jumbled block of text.
YouTube transcript, instantly
Open a video, click once, get the full transcript. Works with and without auto-generated captions.
Almost any platform
TikTok, Vimeo, Loom, Coursera and most streaming sites. Not locked to one platform.
50+ languages
The AI handles accents, technical terms and fast speech across dozens of languages.
Search & copy
Search through the transcript, copy the quotes you need, or grab the whole thing at once.
What happens to your data
Straight answer, because it depends on the platform.
- On YouTube and Vimeo, the transcript is pulled from the video's own captions inside your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.
- On other sites, the audio stream is transcribed by an AI service as it plays. It is processed in the moment and not stored.
- Your browsing history is never recorded, and your data is never sold or shared.
