AVAILABILITY AND LIMITATIONS

The extension can extract only caption text that YouTube makes available to the current player or session. Available languages, automatic captions, and translated tracks vary by video and by YouTube. The extension does not download video files or generate captions when YouTube provides none.

PRIVACY

To retrieve captions, the extension may send the current video's ID and caption-request parameters directly to YouTube. YouTube processes those requests under its own policies. Extracted transcript text is processed locally by the extension and is not sent to the developer or to an independent transcription service. The extension contains no analytics, advertising, account system, or developer-operated backend. Please see the privacy policy for details.

YouTube Transcript Extractor is an independent add-on and is not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or Google.
