💡 How It Works
This tool extracts existing subtitles from YouTube videos - either auto-generated captions by YouTube or manual subtitles uploaded by the creator.
Before using: Check if your video has subtitles available:
- Open the video on YouTube
- Look for the CC button in the player
- If the button exists, the video has captions and we can extract them
