YouTube Transcript Generator — More Accurate Than Auto-Captions
YouTube's built-in captions miss technical terms, accents, and fast speech. MP3Transcript uses OpenAI Whisper to deliver a higher-accuracy timestamped transcript — then lets you turn it into a summary, blog post, or SRT subtitles without leaving your workspace.
Paste any public YouTube video URL. The AI fetches the audio, transcribes it in 100+ languages, and presents an editable, speaker-labeled transcript you can review against the synchronized video player before exporting or repurposing.
