FOR PODCAST LISTENERS & PRODUCERS

Make a YouTube podcast searchable from the start.

Find a quote inside an episode, keep its place in the conversation, and take the transcript into your research or show-notes workflow.

No account needed for available captions. A free account adds saved transcripts and audio transcription.

Built around the transcript

Keep the conversation easy to revisit.

Use the episode’s words as a working reference for interviews, research, and editorial planning.

01 / FIND A QUOTE

Search an episode.

Look for a phrase across the transcript and move straight to the passage you want to review.

Three clear steps.

Start from the video, use the transcript, then carry the result into your own workflow.

01

Start with an episode link.

Public and unlisted YouTube episodes with available captions work in the guest flow.

02

Find a useful passage.

Read or search the transcript, then revisit the moment in the episode.

03

Export for your next task.

Save a plain-text copy or keep the captions’ timing in a subtitle file.

Before you start

A few useful details.

Can I search a YouTube podcast transcript?

Yes. TranscriptLab presents the available caption text in a searchable reader and keeps the timestamps alongside it.

Can I use the transcript to draft show notes?

Download the TXT transcript and use it as source material for your show notes. The product does not automatically write a summary.

Can I export captions for an episode clip?

When the episode has available captions, you can download SRT or WebVTT with the caption timing preserved.
