YTTS adds a transcript card directly to YouTube's watch page, matching its light and dark themes. Read existing transcripts as lines, sentences or text, jump using timestamps, and copy everything with or without timestamps. Free and open source, with no ads, account or tracking. The interface supports 21 locales. Uses YouTube's available transcript; it does not transcribe, translate or summarize videos.

Hi, I'm Marcel, the developer of YTTS.
I often want to read a video's transcript instead of watching the whole video. I tried other tools, but kept wanting something simpler that looked like it belonged on YouTube. Eventually, I built it for myself.
My first priority is keeping the interface consistent with YouTube, including its light and dark themes. My second is keeping it completely free, without ads or an account.
YTTS puts the existing transcript in a small card on the watch page. You can read it as lines, sentences or continuous text, jump to timestamps, and copy the whole transcript. The interface has 21 locales; it doesn't generate or translate transcripts.
It's open source under MIT: https://github.com/maphel/YTTS
If you use YouTube transcripts, I'd like to hear whether this fits your workflow and whether the card feels like part of YouTube.
