💪 Want a Solution That Never Fails?
Our Chrome Extension works inside YouTube.
YouTube cannot block it. Ever.
Free forever — transcripts cost nothing
Never blocked — runs inside YouTube
18+, private, restricted videos — only the extension can access these
150+ languages — change or translate transcript
Copy with one click — with or without timestamps
Why does this happen?
YouTube actively blocks website tools from accessing transcripts. This happens randomly — sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's not just us — all transcript websites face this same problem because we all use similar methods.
When you use a website tool, YouTube can detect and block the request from our servers. This is why you might see errors even when the video clearly has captions available.
The Chrome Extension is different. It runs directly in your browser, inside YouTube itself. YouTube cannot block it because it's not coming from a server — it's working right where you are watching the video. This makes it the only reliable way to get transcripts consistently.
No CC icon in the player? Then this video has no captions. The creator did not add them. No tool — including ours — can help. 😔
