How it works
- Pick a tool. Choose video, audio or subtitle conversion.
- Paste a link or upload a file. YouTube tools accept a URL; audio and video tools accept a file.
- Copy or download. Copy the text or download SRT/VTT when the tool supports it.
Honest limitations
- Speech recognition struggles with background noise, overlapping speakers and strong accents. Review names and numbers.
- The YouTube tools read captions that already exist. If captions are disabled, there is nothing to extract.
- Audio and video uploads are capped at 4 MB to keep the free service available.
- Only process content you own or have permission to use.
Frequently asked questions
Are all TranscriptPlus tools free?
Yes. The tools are free and do not require an account. Audio and video uploads are limited to 4 MB and three conversions per visitor per day; browser-based subtitle conversions have no daily limit.
Do I need to install software?
No. Everything runs in a modern browser.
What is the difference between the transcript and subtitle tools?
Transcript tools turn video or audio into readable text. Subtitle tools convert between SRT, VTT and text, or download existing YouTube captions.
Are my files stored?
No. Browser-based subtitle conversions never leave your device. Uploaded audio and video are sent to a transcription provider only to produce the result and are not stored by us.
Which tool should I start with?
For a YouTube link, use the YouTube transcript generator. For a local file, use MP3 to text or MP4 to text. For subtitle files, use the SRT or VTT converters.
