Is this the same as the captions of the video?
No. The captions come from the platform's own pipeline and arrive without timecodes and without speakers. Here the audio is transcribed again, line by line, with the start and the end of every line.

In short
Upload the audio of one video and you get a transcript, not a caption track: one line per segment, the moment it was said, and a file you can correct before you export it. One file is 30 minutes, and the free plan is $0 with 3 files a day.
How to get the transcript of a YouTube video
- 1
Save the audio of the video
There is no link field in the app and no downloader inside it: you keep the file you have the right to keep, and that file is what gets transcribed. The picture can stay in the video.
- 2
Upload the file once
One file is up to 30 minutes at the most, so a long video is cut into parts before the upload. Drop it on the widget and pick the language, or leave the detection on.
- 3
Fix the words that matter
Open the transcript in the editor, correct a name or a number, and the corrected text is what the TXT export carries. Names and figures are the first things to go wrong.
- 4
Take the format you need
TXT for a document, Markdown for a wiki, CSV for a table with the times, DOCX for an editor on Pro. The same lines with the same timecodes are in all of them.
What you get
- TXT
Plain text for an email, a note or a chat
- SRT
Subtitles for video editors and platforms
- VTT
Subtitles for a browser and a website
- CSV
A table: time, speaker, text
- DOCX
A Word document with speakers and times
- Markdown
Text with headings for notes
What a transcript of one video is made of

| The file of the transcript | TXT, Markdown, SRT, VTT and CSV on every plan, DOCX on Pro |

| The price | $0: 3 files a day. Pro is $10 a month paid yearly ($120 a year) |
The case
A transcript is a document, not a caption
A caption is a by-product of somebody else's pipeline: a block of text with no timecodes to point at and no name on the line. A transcript is the other thing — a document that belongs to you, one sentence per line, with the moment each sentence was said, and with words you are allowed to fix.
Tips
Keep the original file next to the transcript.
Correct the names before you quote a line.
A line is cited by its timecode, not by its number.
Three free files a day cover three videos.
Questions this page answers
Can a service do it from the link?
Transkriptor takes YouTube links and calls itself a transcription and meeting assistant (transkriptor.com/tr/fiyatlandirma, read on 22 October 2026). Ours reads the file you upload and asks for no account anywhere else.
Which format holds the transcript?
TXT for plain text, Markdown for headings and lists, CSV for one row per segment with the time and the speaker, DOCX for a Word file on Pro. SRT and VTT carry the same lines as subtitles.
What does it cost for one video?
The free plan is $0 with 3 files a day, up to 30 minutes per file, and it asks for no card. Pro is $10 a month when you pay yearly, or $20 a month when you pay monthly.
