Youtube Transcript API - Go beyond basic YouTube captions.

by•
Go beyond basic YouTube captions. Extract transcripts from any youtube video using audio-based transcription even when captions aren't available. Then do more with your transcripts — generate mindmaps, create summaries, or chat with the content to find exactly what you need.

hey Product Hunt 👋 I built this for my own note-taking system because most existing tools only work with default YouTube captions — which means they fail on half the videos I wanted to save 😭 So, I made a tool that actually extracts transcripts from ANY YouTube video, even when captions don't exist. What it does: extracts transcripts from ANY YouTube video 🎥 uses audio-based transcription when captions aren't available 🧠 generates mindmaps from content 🗺️ lets you chat with videos to find exact moments ⚡️ Would love your honest feedback on: transcript accuracy 📝 AI features (mindmap/chat) usefulness 🤖 what feature we should add next 🧩

Congrats on a launch!

Congrats on the launch! I’ve been using YouTube transcripts a lot more lately. How are you reliably pulling transcripts from videos? Do you rely on a specific tool, or did you build a custom solution that goes beyond standard YouTube captions?
