About Subtext

Subtext turns the captions of a YouTube video into text you can actually use: readable paragraphs, a search box, one-tap copy and downloads in the formats note apps, editors and AI assistants understand.

It exists because the transcript panel on YouTube is hard to read and harder to take anywhere. There is no account, and the text you see is the public caption track that YouTube already publishes with the video.

How it works

When someone asks for a video for the first time, we read its public captions and keep a copy, so the next visitor gets the page instantly. We do not download, store or re-host video or audio.
