Instant Transcripts — chrisyau

Get a clean, exportable transcript of any YouTube or TikTok video — in one click.

Three ways to use it:

• Click the toolbar icon → a small popup confirms detection → click Get Transcript
• Right-click any YouTube or TikTok page → choose "Get transcript with Transcript.you"
• Click the yellow "📝 Transcript" button injected next to YouTube's Like/Share buttons

Why install:

• No more copy-pasting from YouTube's clunky "Show transcript" panel
• TikTok doesn't expose transcripts at all — we extract audio and transcribe via OpenAI Whisper
• Export to TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT, or VTT subtitle files
• Translate transcripts to 134+ languages (Pro)
• Free tier — 1 transcript per day, no signup required
• Bulk transcription for whole channels, playlists, or audio batches on transcript.you

How it works:

1. Open any YouTube or TikTok video
2. Click the Transcript.you icon (or right-click → "Get transcript with Transcript.you")
3. A new tab opens with the full transcript ready to search, copy, or export

Single purpose: This extension exists to do one thing — let you open the transcript of the YouTube or TikTok video you are currently watching on transcript.you with one click. It does nothing else.

Privacy: This extension only reads the URL of the active tab, and only when you explicitly invoke it (icon click, context-menu click, or in-page button click). It never sends data to any third party other than transcript.you. It does not collect browsing history, run third-party analytics, or set cookies. Full policy: https://transcript.you/privacy

Permissions explained:

• activeTab — read the current tab URL when you click the icon
• tabs — open a new tab with the transcript
• contextMenus — add the "Get transcript" item to your right-click menu
• scripting — inject the in-page "📝 Transcript" button
• Host access to youtube.com, youtu.be, tiktok.com — restricts the extension to exactly these two platforms
