How to get a YouTube transcript by prepending the URL

To get the transcript of any YouTube video, replace youtube.com with ytscribe.io in the address bar. For example, change youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ to ytscribe.io/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ. The full transcript loads instantly with a one-click copy button. Works for standard videos, Shorts, embeds, and legacy /v/ links.

Easiest way to copy a transcript from YouTube

The fastest way to copy a YouTube transcript is to swap the domain to ytscribe.io and click Copy. YouTube's native transcript panel does not have a copy button — you have to drag-select every line, which often misses timestamps or breaks paragraphs. ytscribe gives you a clean, paste-ready paragraph view by default, plus an optional timestamped view that matches YouTube's panel format.

Export a YouTube transcript to an LLM (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini)

Use the Copy as Markdown option on any ytscribe page to get a Markdown-formatted transcript with the video title, source URL, and language as front-matter. Paste it directly into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Notion, or Obsidian — every LLM and modern note tool understands Markdown natively, so summaries and follow-up questions work without further reformatting.
