subtitle.im

subtitle.im is a YouTube extension that reads transcripts from a video’s available captions, enabling users to search for keywords, jump to moments, copy text or download transcripts. It also provides controls to follow YouTube captions, turn captions on or off automatically, and handle duplicate subtitles according to user settings.

subtitle.im operates by processing data locally in the browser, extracting captions from YouTube without uploading video frames or subtitle text. It supports viewing transcripts across existing captions, including auto-generated ones, and offers options to restore captions or adjust how captions are displayed.

The tool offers a range of download formats and options for parsing transcripts, including TXT as a free option and SRT, VTT, PDF and Markdown with Pro access. It emphasizes privacy and local processing, with features to manage differences between languages and to handle burned-in subtitles.

subtitle.im provides a multi-tier plan structure with a Free option and a Pro option (and Pro Lifetime), outlining rules for channel and video level settings, and the ability to store and manage preferences across videos. It notes platform scope and integration as a Chrome extension working with YouTube on desktop.
