Transcripts are literal word-for-word transcription of the audio in a video. They are typically displayed below the video player but can also be downloaded as a text file. Transcripts are helpful for people who want to read along with the audio or who need to access the content of the video in a different format, such as text-to-speech.
Subtitles are a translation of the audio in a video into another language. They are typically displayed below the video player and can be turned on or off by the viewer. Subtitles are helpful for people who are learning a new language or watching a video in a language they do not understand.
Closed captions (CC) are similar to subtitles but are designed to be used by people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Closed captions are displayed on the video player in a larger font, often including additional information, such as speaker identification and sound effects.
YouTube doesn't have an option to directly download the transcript text. If you want the transcript, you can paste the YouTube URL above on this page to download the transcript easily.
