VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION

Transcribe a YouTube video to text.

Paste a public video URL, edit the transcript, and download TXT, SRT, or VTT. Purchased minutes are required.

Video URL

Use a public HTTPS video URL supported by Supadata. File uploads are not available. Process only content you have permission to use.

Use the interactive tool to submit a supported URL.

How link transcription works

  1. Paste a public link. Enter a supported HTTPS video URL; file uploads are not available.
  2. Review the transcript. Supadata generates a transcript. You can edit the returned text before export.
  3. Export your text. Download the completed transcript in a format that fits your next step.

Choose a transcription path

  • Read existing captions: The YouTube transcript guide starts with YouTube's own transcript view and explains when an editable export helps.
  • Make editable text: Use the form above with a supported public link, then correct the returned text in the result workspace.
  • Prepare timed subtitles: The SRT file format guide shows the cue structure before you choose that export.

Check the returned words before you export. Sonora edits transcript text but does not adjust cue timing; use a subtitle editor when timing needs correction.

Choose an export format

TXT
TXT keeps each transcript line with its start time. Use it when you want readable plain text.
SRT
SRT contains timed subtitle cues. Use it when your video editor accepts SubRip captions. See the SRT file format guide for a cue example.
VTT
VTT contains timed cues for web captions. Use it for a player that accepts WebVTT.

Frequently asked questions

How do I transcribe a YouTube video to text?

Sign in, paste a supported public YouTube link into the tool above, and use purchased minutes to start. Review the returned words before exporting TXT. If you only need to read existing captions, see the YouTube transcript guide.

Can I export SRT or VTT subtitles?

Yes, when a transcript is returned with timed segments. Choose SRT or VTT after reviewing the text. Sonora lets you edit words, not cue timing; see the SRT format guide for an example.

Can I upload an MP4 or MP3 file?

No. Sonora accepts supported public HTTPS video links, not files stored on your device. A private or unsupported video may not return a transcript.

What if a video has no captions?

The transcription provider may generate text for some accessible videos, but a result is not guaranteed. Check that the link opens publicly and review any text returned before using it.

Is there a free daily transcription?

No. New transcriptions require purchased minutes for both new and existing accounts. View minute packs before submitting a link.
