Frequently asked
Does this work with YouTube auto-captions?+
Yes — if you've downloaded a .vtt from YouTube, paste it in. Inline cue tags (<c>, <i>, etc.) are stripped automatically.
Why use this instead of copying from YouTube directly?+
YouTube's transcript panel includes timestamps and noisy formatting. A clean .vtt → text pass gives you just the words, line by line.
Will it preserve speaker labels?+
If your .vtt encodes speakers using `<v Speaker>` tags, they're stripped. For preserved labels, edit the .vtt manually before converting.
