How do I get a YouTube transcript from a link?
Paste the video URL into the box above. Peruse fetches the public captions and shows the full transcript. You can copy or download it as Markdown.
Do I need to sign up?

What if the video has no captions?
Peruse reads YouTube’s public captions. If the creator has not provided captions, Peruse cannot produce a transcript.
Is there also a summary?
