Why not just copy YouTube's transcript?
YouTube's auto-captions are convenient but rough: no punctuation in older videos, mangled names and jargon, and many videos have no transcript at all. Whisper-grade transcription generates cleaner text from the actual audio — including for videos where YouTube offers nothing to copy.
Built for research and content work
Quote a lecture accurately, search an interview series for a phrase, turn your own videos into blog posts, generate subtitles for re-upload — transcript work is text work, and it starts with text that's actually correct.
Batch a whole channel into a text corpus
Combine batch download with batch transcription: a playlist of talks becomes a folder of transcripts overnight. Researchers building datasets and editors mining archives get a searchable corpus without a per-minute bill — because there isn't one.
Local transcription, unlimited by design
Online transcript tools cap you at a handful of videos or minutes. ClapClip's transcription runs on your own hardware, so it is free forever with no time limits — the same unlimited engine behind ClapClip's whole transcription suite.
AI transcription vs copying auto-captions
Copy-paste tools just reformat YouTube's own captions — same errors, same gaps. Local AI transcription re-listens to the audio with a better model, adds punctuation, and works on videos with no captions at all. It's the difference between borrowing rough notes and taking your own.

What formats can I export?
Plain text (TXT) for notes and quoting, or timestamped SRT for subtitles.
Can I transcribe many videos at once?
Yes — batch download plus batch transcription handles whole playlists.
Is there a length or usage limit?

Does the audio leave my PC?
No. Both the download and the transcription happen locally.
