Convert a YouTube Transcript to Markdown

What it cleans up

A copied YouTube transcript carries two kinds of noise around the words. The converter removes both:

• Timestamps like 0:08 are dropped (or kept as a compact inline prefix, your choice).
• Accessibility labels get glued to the text with no space, so 0:08 plus its "8 seconds" label plus the words arrives as 0:088 secondscouple ideas. The converter separates and removes the label, leaving just couple ideas.
• Fragmented cues are reflowed into paragraphs, so the result reads like prose instead of two-word caption snippets.

The words themselves are left untouched, including filler like "um" and repeated words, because removing them would change what was said.

Options options

• Keep timestamps (off by default): prefixes each paragraph with an inline [m:ss] marker taken from its first cue, useful for citing or jumping back to a moment in the video.

Limits & privacy

• Paragraph breaks are heuristic. They fall roughly every 40 seconds of the video, preferring a spot where a sentence ends. Auto-generated transcripts have no punctuation, so the breaks there are by timing alone.
• This is for the transcript panel, not caption files. To convert an .srt or .vtt subtitle file, use the SRT & VTT to Markdown tool instead.
• Privacy: the transcript is processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no sign-up or tracking.
