[ LIVE CAPTION FEED ]

Turn any YouTube video into searchable, timestamped text.

Paste a link, get the real caption track back as clean text, JSON, SRT, or VTT — in seconds, with the timecodes intact.

TRANSCRIPT.DECK — CAPTION MONITOR

How it works

Three steps, timestamped, because that's exactly what you get back.

00:00

Paste the video URL

Any youtube.com, youtu.be, or Shorts link. We extract the video ID and validate it server-side.

00:05

We fetch the real caption track

Manually written captions when available, auto-generated ones when they're not — in whichever language you ask for.

00:12

Get clean output, your format

Plain text with inline timestamps, structured JSON, or subtitle-ready SRT / VTT — copy it or download it.

Built for how transcripts actually get used

Not just a text dump — output shaped for what you're doing next.

.txt

Plain text

Readable output with or without inline timestamps — good for notes, search, or feeding to another tool.

.json

Structured JSON

Every segment with start time and duration, plus the full list of available languages for that video.

.srt / .vtt

Subtitle files

Drop straight into a video editor or player — properly formatted timecodes, no cleanup needed.
