How to Get YouTube Video Transcript

Getting a transcript of a YouTube video can be very useful for various purposes such as creating subtitles, translating content, or simply reading the content of the video. Here are the steps to get a YouTube video transcript:

  1. Open the YouTube Video: Go to YouTube and open the video for which you want to get the transcript.

  2. Click on the Three Dots: Below the video, you will see three dots (more options) next to the like, dislike, and share buttons. Click on these three dots.

  3. Select “Show Transcript”: From the dropdown menu, select the “Show transcript” option. This will open a transcript window on the right side of the video.

  4. Copy the Transcript: You can now see the transcript of the video along with timestamps. You can copy the text directly from this window.

  5. Remove Timestamps (Optional): If you want a clean transcript without timestamps, you can manually remove them or use a text editor to find and replace the timestamps.

By following these simple steps, you can easily get the transcript of any YouTube video. This can be particularly helpful for content creators, researchers, and anyone who needs to access the textual content of a video.
