Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our YouTube transcript extraction service
How Does the YouTube Transcript Extraction Process Work?
Our platform automatically retrieves available captions or transcripts from every video within a specified YouTube channel or playlist. Once collected, we process these files and convert them into clean, readable formats you can easily download and use for research, content creation, or analysis.
What Are Credits and How Do They Work?
A "credit" refers to one attempt to extract a transcript from a single YouTube video—regardless of whether a transcript actually exists. For bulk extractions like playlists or full channels, each video consumes one credit, even if the video ends up having no captions available.
How Long Does It Take to Extract Transcripts?
Transcript extraction for individual videos takes just a few seconds. For larger jobs like channels or playlists, processing time depends on video count. Around 100 videos may take under a minute, while 1,000+ could take a few minutes to complete.
How Accurate Are the Extracted Transcripts?
Transcript accuracy is determined by the type of captions available. Videos with manually added captions are generally 99% accurate. Auto-generated YouTube captions vary in quality depending on factors like speech clarity, background noise, and speaker accent.
Can Transcripts Be Pulled from Private or Unlisted Videos?
No—our tool can only access public videos. Extracting transcripts from private or unlisted videos isn't possible unless authenticated by the video owner, which we don't support due to privacy and security policies.
Is a YouTube API Key Required to Use This Service?
No API key needed! We handle all backend API requests on your behalf. Just enter a YouTube video, playlist, or channel link—our system takes care of everything behind the scenes.
What If a YouTube Video Has No Captions?
If a video lacks both auto-generated and manually uploaded captions, it won't appear in your final results. However, the system still uses 1 credit per video, since an extraction attempt is made regardless of caption availability.
What Happens If I Cancel an Extraction Job Midway?
If you cancel a bulk transcript job while it's still running, only the credits for successfully completed extractions will be used. Any unused credits for unprocessed videos are automatically refunded. For instance, canceling a 100-video job after 30 extractions means you're only charged for 30; the other 70 credits are instantly returned.
