Frequently Asked Questions
Can I download subtitles if a video has no closed captions?
YouTube automatically generates captions for almost all spoken-word videos in major languages. If a creator disabled captions or the audio has no speech, transcripts will not be available.
What is the difference between TXT and SRT format?
TXT files provide clean narrative text for reading and AI prompts. SRT files include precise millisecond timecode blocks required by video editors and media players.
