FAQBefore you install
Common questions, answered.
Can I choose only some channel videos?
Yes. Selection is explicit: tick the videos you want, load more results if needed, then start the batch.
Does Transcriptly download videos or audio?
No. It captures the transcript text already available on YouTube and writes Markdown files. It does not download video or audio.
Can I load more channel videos before choosing?
Yes. Load more videos on the channel's Videos tab, then continue selecting. Transcriptly keeps the selection ready for the batch.
Can a batch run in the background?
The batch manager tracks the queue, but keep the browser window in the foreground while captures run so YouTube can load each video reliably.
Make your next YouTube session searchable.
Install Transcriptly and save the transcripts you want as Markdown files you control.
