YouTube transcripts even when captions are missing

Turn YouTube links into clean, searchable transcripts with timestamps. Copy useful passages, jump to exact moments, and export TXT, SRT, or VTT. When public captions are missing, MediaCaption can create the transcript with AI speech-to-text.
Pasted in a long interview link and it pulled captions with timestamps instantly, even skipping straight to the part I needed was super smooth. The SRT export saved me a real headache for editing.
The fallback to AI speech-to-text when captions are missing is a really thoughtful touch, most tools just throw an error and leave you stuck. Clean export options sealed the deal for me.
finally found a tool that actually nails the timestamps when i jump to a specific line. the AI fallback saved me on a video with no captions, quality was solid enough to skim.
Would love a side-by-side view that shows the transcript next to the YouTube video so I can scrub through while reading, instead of switching tabs. That would make jumping to specific moments way smoother when I'm working through longer videos.
Pasted a long interview link and was surprised how fast the timestamps lined up with the actual dialogue. Copying a quote straight to my notes was genuinely handy.
Would love to see a "summary" button that pulls out the key takeaways and timestamps for longer videos, saves me from skimming 40 minutes of transcript when I'm researching.
It would be great if MediaCaption could auto-detect the spoken language and offer a one-click translation into English or other major languages, especially for non-English videos where translations matter most.
