Made for whole courses and channels
TubeKit's bulk transcript extractor lists a playlist or channel, fetches existing captions in parallel and exports one file or a ZIP. Keep each video's title, source link and playlist position. Videos without captions are skipped, without using credits.
- One AI-ready file
- Every transcript in one file with titles and links as headings, split automatically when it's too long for a single NotebookLM source.
- Or a ZIP per video
- Numbered files in playlist order, so a course stays in sequence in any folder.
- Choose what to export
- See titles, lengths and thumbnails first, then select only the videos you need.
- Skip Shorts
- Hide Shorts with one switch. Channel links read the channel's full-length videos.
- Progress and retries
- Each video shows its own status. Videos without captions are marked, and failed ones can be retried with one click.
- No extension needed
- Runs in any browser, including on your phone.
