Read any YouTube video in Japanese

This page defaults to Japanese captions, so when a video has a Japanese transcript you get it straight away — ready to read, search, copy, or download. If a video doesn't have Japanese captions, it shows whatever transcript is available and tells you, so you're never stuck.

Works with regular videos and Shorts. Export in TXT, SRT, VTT, CSV, JSON, or Markdown, send the text to ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, and jump to any moment with the synced player.

How to get a Japanese transcript from a YouTube video

2. Paste it and click Get Japanese Transcript

The tool pulls the Japanese captions when they exist, or the best available transcript otherwise.

3. Read, copy, or download

Read along with the synced player, copy the Japanese text, or download it in your preferred format.
