Download Markdown in one click
Load a transcript in the reader or extension. Select Download Markdown. Enable Timestamps before downloading if you want links to the video times.
The file uses the video ID and caption language in its name. Markdown symbols in caption text are escaped so they display as words rather than formatting. The demo file is labeled as a selected excerpt.
Open the transcript in an AI chat
After capture, select ChatGPT, Claude or Grok in the reader. The button copies Markdown and opens the selected website. Paste the text into the chat. Add your question, then send the message.
You can also attach the downloaded Markdown file if the client supports file uploads. If the browser cannot copy text, use the download button. Review the selected service’s privacy settings before sharing.
Check subtitle timing
SRT exports use captured start times and durations. When captions read from the page have no end time, the export uses the next caption start. If no later start is available, it uses a two-second interval.
These inferred end times are not verified subtitle timings. Check the file in your video or subtitle editor before using it in a finished video. The timestamp switch affects TXT and Markdown. SRT always contains timing, and JSON retains the captured data.
Try the transcript tool.
Try the real caption excerpt. Then paste your own video link.
