YouTube Transcript Without Timestamps
Get the full transcript of any YouTube video as clean, readable text — no timestamps, no clutter. Paste a link and copy or download plain text ready for notes, articles, or AI.
Just the words, nothing else
Timestamps are great for jumping around a video — but useless when you want to actually read, quote, or repurpose what was said. Pasting a timestamped transcript into a document or an AI tool means cleaning up hundreds of little time markers first.
This page skips that entirely. It gives you the transcript as one clean, flowing block of text — the way you would read an article. Copy it in a click, or download it as a TXT or Markdown file.
Notes, blog posts, and AI prompts
Clean text is the right starting point for study notes, summaries, blog drafts, newsletters, and scripts. It also pastes neatly into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini when you want a summary — no stray timestamps confusing the model.
Prefer timestamps for a different task? The main YouTube transcript tool keeps them, with export in six formats.
