A clean Markdown transcript designed for notebooks, docs, research files, and publishing workflows.
Fast answers for this workflow
These answers are written around the actual transcript engine behavior: captions first, cache when possible, AI fallback only when needed.
Can I export a YouTube transcript to Markdown?
Yes. TubeScript can copy or download a generated transcript as Markdown, keeping readable structure and timestamp context for notes, docs, or Notion.
Does TubeScript use YouTube captions or AI first?
TubeScript checks YouTube captions first. Manual captions are preferred, then auto-generated captions. AI transcription is only used when no usable caption track is available.
How fast is TubeScript?
Cached transcripts are usually returned almost instantly. Fresh captioned videos typically finish in seconds. Videos without captions take longer because they require AI audio transcription.
Can I download a YouTube transcript?
Yes. After generating a transcript, you can copy the text or download it as TXT or SRT. SRT keeps subtitle timing; TXT is best for notes, research, and documents.
Browse real transcript source pages
TubeScript's public transcript archive is organized by language, topic, caption source, and channel, with quality gates so empty hubs do not get indexed.
Not a generic note app - a source workflow
TubeScript starts with the source object: the video transcript. The useful outputs come after the source is captured, timestamped, and exportable.
Portable format
Markdown moves cleanly into Notion, Google Docs, editors, documentation tools, and static site workflows.
Timestamp structure
Keep timestamp markers so the exported notes still point back to the video timeline.
Attribution-ready
Use generated headings and source context to keep copied transcript material organized.
From YouTube URL to markdown
Generate the transcript
Paste a YouTube URL and let TubeScript extract captions or create a transcript with AI fallback.
Open Export
Choose Copy Markdown or Download Markdown from the export output panel.
Paste into your workspace
Move the transcript into Notion, Docs, a Markdown editor, or a team knowledge base.
