Extract video transcripts in one click
Automatically detects, parses and downloads VTT subtitle files from any video player you watch in your browser.
Features
One-click extraction
Identify and download active VTT transcription files from your current tab in a single click.
Universal compatibility
Works on any modern HTML5 video player. The extension monitors network traffic to find caption tracks.
Live preview
Preview extracted transcripts directly in the popup before downloading. Copy, save, or skip in seconds.
Privacy first
All extraction happens locally in your browser. We never store, transmit, or track your subtitle data.
Lightweight
Native code. No background load when you're not watching videos.
Where it works
The players we have tested and confirmed.
Auto-generated and manual captions, in every available language.
The caption system behind many university lecture portals, including videos embedded in Canvas.
Pulled per language straight from the Wistia media API — the video never has to play.
Captured while the video plays. On multi-language videos you may get more than the track you selected.
Shared recordings, including players rendered inside a Shadow DOM.
Course and community videos on Whop's Mux-based player.
Classroom lessons, captured in full rather than only the part that has buffered.
Courses on Teachable's own Wistia player. Courses on the newer Hotmart player are not supported yet.
Any Mux-hosted player that ships an HLS subtitle track.
Bunny CDN video with WebVTT captions.
The WordPress video player, including its HLS streams.
Beyond the list above, the extension works on any site that serves a standard caption track — an HTML5 <track> element, a WebVTT or SRT file, or an HLS stream with a subtitle playlist. That covers a large share of course platforms, membership sites and self-hosted players, including ones we have never seen.
What it cannot do: captions have to exist. If a video ships without a caption track, or the captions are burned into the picture, there is nothing to export. Two platforms deliver them in a form we cannot read yet — Teachable courses running on the newer Hotmart player, and Canvas Studio.
