TranscriptSnagger for YouTube

Whether it is because you want to reach out to potential viewers who suffer from certain impairments, want to comprehend the topic better or enhance the video search and user experience for your marketing campaign, grabbing the subtitles of videos and documentary can come in handy in multiple occasions.

As the name suggests, TranscriptSnagger for YouTube is a tool designed to help you capture the subtitles of YouTube videos in one or all the language they are available.

Following a quick and uneventful setup, you come face to face with a rather minimalistic interface that indicates the steps you need to take in order to grab the desired transcripts. Consequentially, the first step entails you paste the URL link in the dedicated field in the upper section of the UI. You should bear in mind that the video should embed subtitles for the app to be able to grab them.

The second step implies that you select the language for the transcript. Again, the application's capabilities are limited here by the translations available with the video and hence, some of them might only be available in English, for instance.  The last step refers to selecting the format for the file, which can be either SRT or TXT.

The program comes with a Word Search function that can come in handy when you are solely searching for a specific piece of information within the videos. If you want to save some time, simply paste the link, add the keyword and the app is going to extract all sentences that contain it.

You will be happy to learn that the app displays the search results as a list that contains a time code for the relevant keyword as well as a direct link to the point of the video where it can be found. Needless to say that you do not need to watch the full video or go through irrelevant data to find the information you need.

TranscriptSnagger for YouTube is an intuitive tool that can help you grab the subtitles of the preferred videos on YouTube, providing that they embed transcripts, in the language of choice.
