YouTube transcript

Turn a YouTube video into traceable text or a detailed learning report. Caption extraction is not audio transcription; sampled images are not continuous video review.

1. Choose the evidence path

Request Required evidence Deliverable
Existing transcript or subtitles Available source-language captions Timestamped text with original captions retained
Transcribe the audio Audio processed by speech recognition Timestamped transcript with uncertain passages identified
Detailed account of what the video teaches Captions or audio transcript, plus relevant video frames Chapter notes, verified report, evidence and coverage records

Use the learning-report path for demonstrations, on-screen steps, or requests to capture everything taught. Start with source-language captions on this path; add audio review when captions are missing or material wording remains uncertain. Follow explicit audio-transcription requests even when captions exist.
