00:02Questions
Questions.
How does this YouTube transcript downloader work?
Paste a link and it reads the captions that video already has, through PreFilm's server, then shows them as plain text. It doesn't listen to the audio or write new captions.
Why does a video show no transcript?
Some videos have no captions, and private or deleted videos can't be read. Try another video from the same channel.
Can I download the transcript?
Yes. Copy the whole text in one press, or save it as a .txt file named after the video.
Is there a limit?
It's free with no sign-up. There's a daily limit per visitor so it stays free for everyone.
