Name: YT Caption Retriever
Description: Starting from basic feature; fetching captions from YouTube URLs

  • translation : ask GPT for translation from plain text captions
  • community caption helper : fetch SRT formatted caption, and ask for translation right away! GPT will give you the community caption that is ready to copy paste
    URL: due to the API malfunction, is still yet-to-come!

Just curious: Why can't I just click on transcript on the video page? What would be the use case of this because this definitely takes longer than clicking on transcript?

# analog lichen I used unofficial youtube api

Oh hehe okie, I thought so!
Is it legal, can we do that?

I want to get the captions from sites like Netflix, Youtube and other websites, but there are no APIs for any of them and I hear that it is not allowed.

Remember other peoples captions are actually their copyright. This is why here in New Zealand I get super frustrated with some online TV streaming sites - they have the TV or movie but no captions. Years ago when I founded CaptionItNZ (which worked pretty well, Air NZ even started captioning everything too!) that's what we kept being told by the providers.

You may find getting the transcript isn't "yours" to do things with, but I may possibly be wrong.

Beautiful though, I love anything accessibility. 🙂
