You can get transcripts from any YouTube video that has closed captions or subtitles enabled. This includes both manually created captions and auto-generated ones. However, if a video doesn't have captions enabled, we won't be able to extract a transcript.

The accuracy depends on the type of captions available. Manually created captions are typically very accurate. Auto-generated captions by YouTube can vary in accuracy depending on factors like audio quality, speaker clarity, and background noise.

Can I extract transcripts in languages other than English?

Why isn't the transcript showing up for my video?
There could be several reasons: 1) The video doesn't have captions enabled, 2) The captions are still processing, 3) The video is private or age-restricted, or 4) There might be temporary issues with YouTube's caption system.
