    YouTube Transcript — FAQ

    Common questions about extracting YouTube transcripts.

    Which YouTube videos have transcripts?

    Any public YouTube video with auto-generated captions or manually uploaded subtitles. Most English-language videos have auto-generated captions. Private, age-restricted, or videos with disabled captions cannot be transcribed.

    Can I get a transcript with timestamps?

    Yes. Askube can provide the transcript with timestamps so you can reference specific moments in the video.

    Is Askube's transcript tool free?

    Yes. Transcript extraction is included in the free plan — 50 credits/month, no credit card required.

    How is this different from YouTube's own transcript feature?

    YouTube's built-in transcript is read-only and hard to copy cleanly. Askube gives you a clean, copyable transcript and then lets you immediately summarize it, turn it into social posts, flashcards, or study notes — all in one workflow.
