Transcribe YouTube Videos Without Captions (AI)

YouTube video has no captions or subtitles? Turn on AI transcription and get the spoken words as text anyway, with timestamps, using Whisper AI. Captions are used whenever they exist, so you only pay for AI when it is needed. Billed per minute of audio, only when a transcript is delivered.
