How to Download YouTube Subtitles as Text & Transcript Files

 

Subtitles are an easy and highly effective way to make your video content more accessible to a wider audience.

First, multilingual subtitle options benefit people who don’t speak the audio’s native language. But they also benefit people who may be Deaf or hard-of-hearing, as well as people who choose to watch your video without sound — whether out of preference or necessity.

Plus, viewers can use the text from those subtitles. For instance, if you’re trying to Spanish, watching a video with Spanish subtitles could be a helpful tool and study aide. YouTube offers viewers the option to download a video’s subtitles as text, provided that the video’s creator has already added those subtitles to their video file.

Below, we’ll walk you through how to download YouTube subtitles as text files. So if you need to download a video’s subtitles for offline use, here’s how to do it:

1. Go to your desired YouTube video

2. Check to make sure the YouTube video has captions/subtitles added with the “CC” button. Go to the bottom ... three dots then select "Open Transcript" to see which subtitle languages are available. Click the dropdown menu to select the language of your subtitles.

3. Click the three dots at the top of the transcript to turn the timestamps in the transcript on or off.

4. Now highlight the transcript, copy it, and paste it to a word processor or notepad app of your choice

 And there you have it! Pretty easy

Download Any Audio from your Computer or Scribd Audiobooks


Scribd doesn't allow users to download audiobooks to their computers for offline listening.  However, with the right tool, we can download Scribd for offline reading.

1   Prepare your tool: Audacity.

Audacity is an easy-to-use, multi-track audio editor and recorder for Windows, macOS, GNU/Linux and other operating systems.

Download Audacity for Windows/Mac/Linux

2  Set your Audacity to record from your computer. Scroll down where you see [MME] and select "Windows WASAPI", which set Audacity to record sound from other programs on the computer.

3  Ensures that Audacity will capture your computer's internal audio without recording sound from the microphone by changing "Microphone Array" to "Speaker (loopback)". If the audiobooks are playing through headphones, you should click Headphones (loopback) here instead.

4  Tap on the recording button and play the Scribe audiobooks you want to download. Be careful not to play other audios on the computer, or the downloaded audiobooks will mix up with the noises.

5  Play the Scribd audiobook via web browser on your computer and then record the audio with Audacity.

Then you can record your Scribd audiobooks to your computer with this completely free software.
