System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Automates extraction of subtitles/transcripts from YouTube video URLs and saves them as local files for offline processing or archival.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detect video title from page data to name output files.
  • Quick extraction using yt-dlp when available (supports multiple languages).
  • Fallback browser automation path when CLI tools are unavailable.
  • Save transcripts to local text files with language indicators.

Quick Start

Provide a YouTube URL; Claude will fetch and save subtitles to a local file (e.g., "Video Title.txt"). If yt-dlp is available, it will be used first; otherwise a browser automation path is attempted.
