Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about YouTube video to text conversion
Is this YouTube to text converter free?
Yes, converting single videos is completely free. No registration required. For bulk processing (channels and playlists), you need credits — see our pricing.
What formats can I export?
You can export transcripts as TXT, SRT, VTT, JSON, or CSV.
Can I convert videos without captions?
If a video has no captions, we cannot extract a transcript.
Do I need a YouTube API key?
No, you don't need any API key. Our system handles all communication with YouTube in the background. If you want to use our own API programmatically, you can create one in your API Keys dashboard.
How accurate are the transcripts?
Accuracy depends on the source: manual subtitles are ~99% accurate, while auto-generated captions vary based on audio quality.
