Frequently Asked Questions

How many languages do you support?

We currently support 19 major languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, and Dutch. We're constantly adding more languages based on user demand.

What if a video doesn't have captions in my language?

Our tool extracts existing captions from YouTube videos. If a video only has auto-generated captions in the original language, those will be available. Not all videos have manually-added subtitles in multiple languages - it depends on the creator.

Are auto-generated captions accurate?

YouTube's auto-generated captions vary in accuracy. For clear speech in major languages like English, Spanish, and French, accuracy is typically good. For less common languages or videos with heavy accents, background music, or technical jargon, accuracy may be lower.

Can I download transcripts in multiple languages for the same video?

Yes! If a video has captions available in multiple languages, you can extract each language separately. Simply select the language you want from the available options and download each transcript.
