Paragraphs, not fragments
Caption pieces are joined into readable passages while every section keeps its first timestamp.
A reader for words already there
Give captions room to breathe.
Transcript Tidy turns the transcript on a YouTube or TED page into a stable document—with clean paragraphs, search, and links back to the exact moment.

A tidied transcript
A page that keeps its place
When every caption fragment has somewhere to land, an idea can unfold at the pace you choose. Search finds a phrase without scrubbing through a timeline.
The timestamp stays in the margin, ready when the speaker’s delivery matters.
Reader first
Designed for attention, not engagement.
Search that stays put
Find every match in the document. Warm annotations replace flashing playback controls.
Return to the moment
Each marginal timestamp opens the original video at that exact point.
Your copy, locally
Export plain text or accessible HTML. Transcript text is never uploaded to us.
Private by design
The transcript never leaves your browser.
Transcript Tidy reads only caption tracks exposed on the page you open. It does not download video, create unavailable transcripts, track reading, or publish a transcript library.
