YouTube Transcript Generator

Paste a YouTube link and pull the full transcript in seconds — plain text or timestamped, ready to copy, download, repurpose, or turn into short-form clips.

How to get a YouTube transcript

  1. Copy the video URL from YouTube (watch, Shorts, or youtu.be links all work).
  2. Paste it into the box above and press Get transcript.
  3. Switch between plain text and timestamped view.
  4. Copy it, or download a .txt file for notes, blog posts, or subtitles.

Turn that transcript into clips

SliceClips reads the transcript, scores every moment for hook, pacing, and payoff, then exports vertical clips with burned-in captions for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

FAQ

Is the YouTube transcript generator free?

Yes. Paste any public YouTube URL and get the full transcript instantly — no account, no credit card, no watermark.

Which videos work?

Any public YouTube video that has captions, including auto-generated ones. Private, unlisted, age-restricted, or caption-free videos can't be transcribed.

Can I get timestamps?

Yes. Switch to the Timestamps view to see every caption line with its start time, then copy or download the whole thing as a .txt file.

Can I turn the transcript into short clips?

That's what SliceClips does. Upload the source video and our AI scores every moment, then exports vertical clips with burned-in captions for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
