Features & Capabilities

https://youtu.be/3clVUVhE4jA

This is a YouTube extension that was originally created for exporting subtitles to a text file, but over time its functionality has changed somewhat. Now it's an extension with several features that I sometimes use.

Functionality

Add the load transcription button (you have to load transcript before work with it)
Open the transcript into a new tab to read it more conveniently
Save YouTube Transcript as a formated text file (md file, you can use any text editor, or Visual Studio Code)
Add a button to double YouTube speed
Add a button to copy the cleared url to clipboard (without the time and playlist)

Limitations

Then you push the button to double YouTube speed it runs the autoreset function to prevent changing speed from other events. To turn it off, you need to reload the page. Or set another speed.
If the page has more than one video player (picture in picture), then only the first one will be affected with changing speed.

Changelog

2026-05-09 v 5.0.0 Changed how to show buttons; it's always visible now before the title in the description. Added tooltips to the buttons. Added the "copy to clipboard cleared current url" button. (without list information) Added alert for empty transcript.

Is YouTube Transcript to text Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

YouTube Transcript to text requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

YouTube Transcript to text may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
