YouTube transcript to VTT captions
WebVTT is the caption format the web uses for HTML5 video. Export your transcripts straight to .vtt, timestamps included.
If the source video has no captions, the audio is transcribed by AI first, then exported to VTT — so even caption-less videos get proper subtitles.
How it works
- Paste the video or channel
- We transcribe (captions or AI)
- Export as VTT, SRT, TXT or JSON
Why this beats free caption scrapers
- Transcribes videos without captions using AI (Whisper)
- Handles entire channels in bulk, not one video at a time
- Exports TXT, SRT, VTT and JSON
- Upload your own audio/video too
FAQ
What's the difference between VTT and SRT?
Both are subtitle files with timestamps; VTT is native to web/HTML5 video, SRT is used by most editors. We export both.
Are the timestamps accurate?
Yes — timestamps come straight from the caption track.
