Paste a YouTube link and get the video as a clean Markdown document: title, link and the transcript in one-minute paragraphs with clickable timestamps. Ready for ChatGPT, Claude, Obsidian or Notion.
On YouTube, press Share and copy the link. Shorts, live replays, TikToks and podcast links work too.
Paste it above and press Get transcript. Add a language code like es to get that language when it exists.
Copy the Markdown into ChatGPT or Claude and ask for a summary, or download the .md file for Obsidian, Notion or your docs.
A raw transcript is one long wall of text with no title, no source and no way to point to a moment in the video. Ask an AI to summarize it and you get a summary you can't check. The Markdown version keeps the structure an assistant needs: a heading with the video title, the link and the language, then paragraphs of about a minute, each starting with a timestamp that links to that second of the video.
That means you can ask ChatGPT or Claude to "summarize with timestamps" or "find where they talk about pricing" and every answer comes back with a link you can click to check it. It is also the format Obsidian, Notion, GitHub and most note apps read natively, so the file drops straight into your knowledge base.
If you use Claude, Cursor or another assistant with MCP, connect the Transkrio MCP server and ask for any video: it calls get_transcript with format=markdown and reads the same document. From code, the YouTube Transcript API returns it with one call: GET /v1/transcript?url=...&format=markdown. For whole channels, see RAG over YouTube videos.
Paste a YouTube link and get the full transcript in seconds. Copy it or download it as TXT or SRT, with or without timestamps.
Turn any public TikTok into text. Paste the link, get the transcript, copy it or download it as TXT or SRT.
Paste the link of a public Instagram Reel and get what is said as text. Copy it or download it as TXT or SRT.
Paste an Apple Podcasts episode link, a podcast RSS feed or an audio file URL and get the full transcript, with timestamps.
Copy the video link, paste it in the box on this page and press Get transcript. You get a Markdown document with the title, the link and the transcript in timestamped paragraphs. Copy it or download it as a .md file.
Markdown keeps the title, the source link and a timestamp on every paragraph, so the assistant can cite where in the video each point comes from and you can click to check it.
Yes. On YouTube videos every paragraph starts with a link to that exact second of the video.
Yes. Paste any link the other free tools accept. Timestamps are links only for YouTube; on other platforms they are plain times.
