YouTube Transcript & Summary Generator

What it does

This extension creates transcripts and summaries for YouTube videos directly on the video page, using ChatGPT and Gemini, including videos that have no captions. It is aimed at content creators, students and researchers who want text versions of videos.

Key features

• Transcripts for videos with or without subtitles, in many languages
• Automatic speaker labels for videos with several people talking
• Summary formats including key takeaways, overview, chapters or action items
• Timestamp on every sentence for jumping to that moment
• Copy to clipboard or download as SRT or TXT

Use cases

• Turning a recorded lecture into study notes
• Repurposing a video into a blog post or social captions
• Creating a subtitle file for a video that has none

Getting started

After installing, open a YouTube video and use the panel the extension adds to the page to generate a transcript or choose a summary format.

Good to know

It works on YouTube only, and video content is processed by AI services to produce the text. Automatically generated transcripts can contain errors, especially with poor audio.
