Turn YouTube videos into SRT subtitle files

Returns each video’s captions already formatted as SRT — numbered cues with HH:MM:SS,mmm timings — ready to save as a .srt file and load into a player, an editor or a translation tool. Human-written captions win, auto-generated ones are the fallback, and the row says which was used. Switch the format to VTT for web players. $4.00 per 1,000 transcripts, residential proxy included.
