YouTube transcript
right next to the video
TranscribeClear turns YouTube videos into text with timestamps. Find the right moment, copy everything in one click, and stop watching an hour for one idea.
Transcripts on the website are paused for now. Use the extension.

This is how it looks on YouTube
Real screenshots of the extension on YouTube. The current line follows the video, search works right away, and the whole text copies in one click.
The video shown is Tears of Steel by the Blender Foundation, licensed CC BY.
The video moves at its pace.
You read at yours.
Less rewinding, more understanding
The whole text in one click
With or without timestamps. Paste it into notes, an email, or a chat with an AI.
Every language of the video
All subtitle tracks and YouTube auto translation right in the panel.
Put the panel where it suits you
Three modes. The extension remembers your choice and never opens until you ask.
Three steps to the text
-
Paste the link
A regular browser link, a short youtu.be link, or a Shorts link all work.
-
Watch the text appear
The first lines arrive in a few seconds. A 15 minute video takes about 20 seconds, an hour takes about a minute.
-
Read and copy
Click a timestamp to play from that moment. Copy the text or download it as a file.
Website or extension
The website helps once. If you watch YouTube often, the extension is the better fit.

Questions and answers
Do the website and the extension do the same thing?
The result is similar, the path is different. The website sends the link to a Google model that recognizes the speech. The extension reads the transcript already on YouTube, so the text appears at once, next to the player.
Do I need an account?
No. Neither the website nor the extension has accounts.
Why does the website have limits?
We pay for every new video the server processes. The website gives you 5 new transcripts a day and reads the first 60 minutes of a video. A video someone has already transcribed does not count.
How accurate is the text?
On the website a model recognizes the text, so it can get names and terms wrong, and timestamps can be off by a couple of seconds. In the extension the text and timing come from YouTube.
Which videos work?
The website reads public videos only, not private or unlisted ones. The extension needs the video to have a transcript on YouTube.
Which browsers does the extension support?
Chrome and browsers built on it, plus Firefox 128 and newer.
What does the extension do with my data?
It runs only on YouTube, sends no requests of its own, and keeps only settings on your computer: panel mode, size, and similar small things.
