Why use TubeScript for Chinese transcripts
YouTube's built-in transcript feature is unreliable for Chinese content. Auto-generated captions frequently misinterpret words, omit punctuation, and produce text that is difficult to read. Many Chinese-language videos have no captions at all.
TubeScript first uses available captions and can fall back to AI audio transcription for supported public videos. Private, restricted, or unavailable videos may not be accessible. Results include punctuation, sentence boundaries, and timestamps when the source supports them.
Processing time varies with video length, caption availability, and current capacity. There is nothing to install or account to create. Paste a URL, selectChinese, and TubeScript begins processing the transcript.
