Save YouTube transcripts and summarize videos with ChatGPT or Claude. Create notes, takeaways and slides using your AI account. Use Transcription as a YouTube transcript downloader and AI video summarizer. Save available captions as text and create video summaries, study notes and slides with ChatGPT or Claude. Keep a searchable transcript library in Chrome and use your own AI account. No API key or Transcription subscription is required. SAVE, SEARCH AND REVISIT Save available YouTube captions, search titles, channels and transcript text, and follow timestamp links back to the video. Copy text or download .txt files with optional timestamps. Export Chrome library data and preferences as JSON; importing is not available yet. SUMMARIZE AND CREATE After saving, choose Quick Summary, Topic-wise Overview, Key Insights & Takeaways, Deep Learning & Study Notes, Actionable Steps & Implementation, Visual & Interactive Explanation, Critical Analysis & Fact-Checking, or Custom Request. Choose ChatGPT or Claude, then copy, open, paste and send. You can skip the task picker or disable it. Automatic filling and sending requires a separate opt-in and site permission for the selected assistant. Your assistant's sign-in, usage limits and file capabilities apply. Long transcripts may require attaching the downloaded text file. Slides may be provided as an outline if file creation is unavailable. GET STARTED Open a captioned YouTube video on desktop and click the extension's Transcript button. Then choose a task or skip it. Open the extension popup to access your Chrome library. Copying and text downloads are enabled by default and can be turned off separately. LANGUAGES The interface supports English, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Arabic, selected automatically from Chrome's interface language. Unsupported languages use English. Caption availability depends on YouTube; the extension does not translate transcripts. PRIVACY AND LIMITS Your library stays in Chrome's local storage. There is no developer transcript server, advertising or analytics. Continuing with an AI task shares your chosen prompt, video metadata and transcript with the selected assistant under its policies. The extension writes to the clipboard and does not read it. YouTube must provide captions accessible in your browser. The extension does not transcribe audio, generate missing captions or bypass restrictions. One current transcript is kept per video. Uninstalling removes extension data; downloaded files remain separate. Video, audio, SRT and VTT downloads are not supported. The optional Mac companion is a separate local development build and is not required. YouTube access and scripting retrieve captions. Storage keeps your library and preferences. Clipboard write and downloads export text. Native messaging connects to the optional Mac app. Optional assistant site access enables only your chosen automatic handoff.
