YouTube transcript in Tamil
Returns the transcript of a single video: the text, the caption language, whether YouTube auto-generated it or a person wrote it, the full list of languages the video offers, the line count, the title, the author and the length. A video with no Tamil track falls back to English, so the videos here were picked from the ones actually returning Tamil on 2026-09-07.
