YouTube Transcript Downloader Userscript

This userscript enhances the YouTube viewing experience by providing a convenient way to download and copy the video's transcript. It automatically detects the transcript container and adds buttons for easy access.

Features:

  • Automatic Transcript Detection: The script dynamically searches for the transcript container, adapting to changes in YouTube's page structure. This ensures compatibility even with future updates to the YouTube website.
  • Download Button: A custom "Download Transcript" button is added to the transcript area, allowing users to download the transcript as a plain text file (.txt).
  • Clipboard Copy Button: A custom "Copy Transcript" button is added to the transcript area, allowing users to copy the transcript directly to their clipboard.
  • Timestamp Inclusion: The downloaded transcript includes timestamps for each segment, making it easy to locate specific parts of the video.
  • Error Handling: The script includes robust error handling to gracefully manage situations where the transcript is unavailable or there are issues during the download process.
  • Customizable Styling: The download and copy buttons are styled using embedded CSS, providing a visually appealing and consistent user experience.
  • Retry Mechanism: If the transcript isn't immediately available, the script will retry until it's found or a timeout is reached.

How to Use:

  1. Install a userscript manager: You'll need a browser extension like Tampermonkey (Chrome), Violentmonkey (Chrome, Firefox, Edge), or Greasemonkey (Firefox) to install and run this userscript.
  2. Install the script: Obtain the main.js file (see below for instructions on obtaining the file) and create a new userscript in your userscript manager. Save the script with a descriptive name (e.g., "YouTube Transcript Downloader").
  3. Visit a YouTube video: Navigate to any YouTube video with a transcript.
  4. Access the transcript: Open the video transcript by clicking the "Show transcript" button below the video.
  5. Download or copy the transcript: Two buttons, "Download Transcript" and "Copy Transcript", will appear in the transcript area. Click the respective button to either download the transcript as a .txt file or copy it to your clipboard.
