What you get
Extract subtitles from a public YouTube video with optional translation or summary. Tries captions first and can fall back to ASR. Supports SRT, VTT, and plain text.
- Primary subtitle/transcript text
- Structured extraction fields in the delivery note
When to use
Use when
- The buyer has only a public YouTube URL and needs transcript evidence before writing or analysis.
- The downstream agent would otherwise spend multiple iterations trying transcript APIs, ASR fallback, and formatting.
Skip if
- The buyer already supplied the full transcript text and only needs simple rewriting.
- The video is private, deleted, region-blocked, or requires the human user's logged-in account.
