Paste a URL, hit run, get structured data. That's the whole workflow.
- 01
How do I get transcripts for a whole YouTube channel?
Paste the channel URL or its @handle and run it. We fetch the channel's most recent uploads, then transcribe the latest three in one pass and show each transcript with its title, duration, and view count.
- 02
Why only a few videos per run?
Transcribing every video on a large channel would be slow and expensive, so the free tool caps each run at the three newest videos. For a full-channel or scheduled backfill, the YouTube transcript API endpoint has no such cap.
- 03
Do I need the video URLs?
No. That's the point of a channel tool. You give it the channel once and it finds the videos for you, so you never paste a single watch link.
