Free YouTube Transcript Extractor
No account. No credit card. No trial. Just paste a URL and get the transcript.
2 free transcripts per day — forever
No strings attached
Most "free" transcript tools require an account, ask for a credit card, or limit you to 30 seconds of transcription before demanding payment. TubeScript takes a different approach: you get 2 complete transcripts every day, with no signup, no email address, and no payment information of any kind.
The free tier is not a trial. It does not expire. You can use TubeScript's free YouTube transcript tool every single day, indefinitely, without ever creating an account. We built TubeScript to be the simplest way to get text from a YouTube video, and that starts with removing every barrier to entry.
What you get for free

Complete transcripts with timestamps for any YouTube video
AI-powered accuracy
Works on all videos, even those without existing captions
Copy to clipboard
One-click copy of the entire transcript
Account required
No email, no password, no signup form

The free tier never asks for payment information
How TubeScript compares to paid alternatives
Services like Otter.ai and Rev charge $10 to $25 per month for transcription. While they offer advanced features like speaker diarization and meeting integrations, most people just need the text from a YouTube video. For that use case, TubeScript's free tier is more than enough.
YouTube's own transcript feature is technically free but requires navigating through multiple menus, only works on videos that already have captions, and produces text without proper punctuation or formatting. TubeScript gives you a clean, readable transcript with a single click.
If you need more than 2 transcripts per day, TubeScript's Pro plan costs $6 per month — still less than half the price of most competitors — and includes unlimited transcripts, AI summaries, and export options.
