Youtube Transcript API - Go beyond basic YouTube captions.

Go beyond basic YouTube captions. Extract transcripts from any youtube video using audio-based transcription even when captions aren't available. Then do more with your transcripts — generate mindmaps, create summaries, or chat with the content to find exactly what you need.

hey Product Hunt 👋 I built this for my own note-taking system because most existing tools only work with default YouTube captions — which means they fail on half the videos I wanted to save 😭 So, I made a tool that actually extracts transcripts from ANY YouTube video, even when captions don't exist. What it does: extracts transcripts from ANY YouTube video 🎥 uses audio-based transcription when captions aren't available 🧠 generates mindmaps from content 🗺️ lets you chat with videos to find exact moments ⚡️ Would love your honest feedback on: transcript accuracy 📝 AI features (mindmap/chat) usefulness 🤖 what feature we should add next 🧩

Congrats on the launch! I’ve been using YouTube transcripts a lot more lately. How are you reliably pulling transcripts from videos? Do you rely on a specific tool, or did you build a custom solution that goes beyond standard YouTube captions?

@lunarturtle @lunarturtle we have audio speech recognition, we pull the video from youtube, convert it to audio and using ASR we transcribe the audio very accurately, so we provide both default captions and audio based transcription
