Transcript Pull adds a Transcript button under every YouTube video. Click it and the full transcript opens in the sidebar with timestamps. Click a line to jump the player to that moment.

How it works
The extension reads the caption tracks that YouTube already serves to your browser, using your own YouTube session. Nothing is sent to our servers. There is no account, no sign-up and no usage tracking. The only outside connection is to Freemius, the payment and license provider, and only when you activate, check or deactivate a Pro license key.

Limits
- A video must have captions. If the uploader disabled captions and YouTube has not generated them, there is no transcript to pull.
- Playlist and channel export fetches videos one at a time with a short pause between them, so large playlists take a few minutes. Keep the tab open.
- YouTube can change its page or API at any time. We update the extension when that happens.

Privacy
We collect nothing. See the privacy policy for details.
