Core Features & Use Cases

  • Subtitle extraction: Retrieve available captions from YouTube videos (manual or auto-generated) and prioritize Chinese transcripts.
  • Translation support: Automatically translate non-Chinese subtitles to Chinese while preserving structure.
  • Output formats: Produce results in Markdown, plain text, or JSON for easy integration into workflows.
  • Use Case: A creator wants a Chinese transcript of a video to publish captions or to translate for a Chinese audience.
