Simple by design

A faster way to get a YouTube transcript

Threadmap turns an accessible public YouTube video into clean, timestamped text. Paste the video URL, wait for the transcript, then copy it directly or download a plain text file. There is no account to create and no editor to learn.

Use a YouTube transcript for research notes, searchable references, quotations, summaries, accessibility workflows, or content review. Timestamps make it easier to return to the exact moment in the original video.

Transcript availability depends on the video, its captions, language, and public accessibility. Threadmap only processes public videos it can access; always respect the creator’s rights when reusing transcript content.
