Extract subtitles & transcripts from lectures, courses and online video. Copy as text or download SRT, VTT and ASS subtitle files. Get the full text out of almost any video you watch. Copy it, download it as a clean text file, or save it as a subtitle file (.srt, .vtt or .ass) with the original timings. Whether you're a student compiling notes from lectures and online courses, a researcher pulling quotes out of recorded talks, or a creator gathering reference material, this tool takes the hassle out of hunting down hidden subtitle files. Great for studying, summarizing a long talk, searching what was said, or pasting a transcript straight into an AI assistant. WORKS WITH: ✅ YouTube: auto-generated and manual captions, in any language ✅ Kaltura: the video system behind many university lecture portals ✅ Wistia: including the native player used by several course platforms ✅ Vimeo ✅ Loom ✅ Any site that serves standard VTT, SRT or TTML subtitles, including HTML5 <track> tags and HLS streams Tested platforms, in full: https://kissma.org/apps/vtt-transcript-extractor#supported-sites KEY FEATURES: 🚀 One-click or automatic: captures captions as the video plays, or pulls them from your current tab in a single click 🎞️ Subtitle files: download .srt, .vtt or .ass with the original timings, ready for media players, video editors and subtitle editors ⏱️ Timestamps optional: export plain text, or keep the timecodes 🌍 Clean languages: when a video has several caption languages, each one stays separate, so your files never mix them 📂 Live preview: read the text right in the popup before you export 🔒 Private by design: everything runs locally in your browser. Nothing you capture is ever uploaded, tracked, or stored on our servers 🌐 Lightweight: built natively so your browser stays fast A quick note on expectations: subtitles have to exist for a video, and a few platforms deliver them in a format we can't read yet. If a player only loads its subtitles while the video plays, the popup tells you to press play with captions on. Run into a site that doesn't work? The popup has a one-click "report this site" link.
