YouTube Transcript Exporter

This script adds four buttons to the YouTube header to facilitate exporting a video's transcript to LLMs or downloading it as a text file. The first button copies the transcript to the clipboard before opening NotebookLM, ideal for quickly generating podcasts. Button two includes a prompt to summarize the video and opens ChatGPT. The third button downloads the transcript as a text file, while the last button opens the settings panel.

Note: Due to the Same-Origin Policy (SOP) in web development, JavaScript cannot directly interact across different websites: i.e. while the script can copy the transcript to the clipboard from YouTube and open a link (e.g. ChatGPT or NotebookLM), the copied transcript must be pasted manually into the text field via CTRL+V (Windows/Linux) or CMD+V (macOS).

Transcript Is Loading The transcript has to be loaded into the HTML before it can be used. This can take between a few milliseconds up to a couple of seconds—depending on the length of the video.
Live Video, No Transcript YouTube live streams don't have transcripts. Wait until the stream has finished and YouTube's API has processed the video.
Transcript Not Available YouTube's API needs a few minutes to process a new video and generate its transcript. Ensure the "Show transcript" button is available in the description.
Transcript Failed to Load If the transcript fails to load, the script will terminate. Reload the page to try again.
