Questions
Does this work with any YouTube video?
Yes, any video with captions.
Is it really free?
Completely free. No account, no limits.
Do most psychology lecture videos on YouTube have captions?
Most do. University lecture uploads, major educational channels like Crash Course, and professional creators typically have auto-generated or manually added captions.
Can I use the transcript to cite a psychology lecture in an academic paper?
You can use the transcript to locate the exact quote or claim, but for academic citation you should still format the reference as a YouTube video (author, title, platform, date, URL).
Will the transcript include technical psychology terms accurately?
Auto-generated captions handle common terms well but may misspell specialized vocabulary like 'amygdala,' 'neurotransmitter,' or theorist names like 'Vygotsky.' Always double-check technical terms before using them in coursework.
Can I get transcripts of full university psychology course playlists?
Yes — just do one video at a time. Go to each lecture video, swap the URL, and copy the transcript.
Is there a way to search the transcript for a specific concept?
Once the transcript loads, use your browser's built-in find function (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) to search for any keyword — like 'dopamine,' 'attachment theory,' or 'cognitive dissonance' — and jump directly to where it appears.
Does this work on mobile for psychology students studying on the go?
Yes. On mobile, open the YouTube video in your browser (not the app), copy the URL, manually edit 'youtube' to '2outube' in the address bar, and load the page. The transcript will display in a mobile-readable format.
