You're all set!

No setup needed. Just open a YouTube video and the transcript appears right next to the player. Here's how it works in 5 quick steps.

  1. 1. Open any YouTube video

    Go to any video that has captions. The transcript panel appears automatically in the sidebar next to the player — no clicks, no setup.
