Get a YouTube transcript in another language
Choose a real caption track, understand missing languages, and keep source timing in your exports.
Retrieve the video’s captions
Paste a public YouTube link and select Get transcript. The result shows the retrieved language and a Caption language menu. The menu comes from the video’s accessible tracks, so two videos may offer different choices.
Choose a caption language
Select the track you need. TranscriptVid requests that track and refreshes the text and timing together. If a video has only one exposed track, the menu is disabled. Names use readable language labels; multilingual text keeps its natural direction.
Understand transcription and translation
A caption track may have been written or generated by the source. Selecting a track does not ask TranscriptVid to translate the video. For a saved file, Spoken language tells the local model which language it should recognize; it keeps the original speech language.
Keep the language with your reference
Download SRT or VTT to preserve timing, or copy plain text for notes. Copy for Claude includes the language and source context. Review names, technical terms and automatic captions against the original.
