Features
YouTube's transcript panel can't search. This can.
Full-text transcript search
Type a word or phrase and instantly find every place it appears in the video. Results show the surrounding context and timestamp so you can jump straight to the right moment.
Results in seconds
No waiting for audio processing. We pull the transcript instantly from YouTube's captions, then let you search across the full text, even hour-long videos in under 5 seconds.
Click to jump
Every search result links to the exact timestamp. Click a match and jump straight to that moment instead of scrubbing through the timeline guessing where something was said.
Works without captions too
If a video doesn't have YouTube captions, we transcribe the audio with AI so you can still search it. No video is unsearchable.
Search right on YouTube
The Chrome extension adds transcript search directly to the YouTube page. Search without leaving the video, and results appear in a sidebar panel.
Search long videos fast
Search across lectures, podcasts, conference talks, and full courses in milliseconds instead of scrubbing a timeline.
