Most transcript tools ask you to paste a URL before they will show you anything. This page skips that. Below is a complete, unedited transcript that this tool produced, rendered the same way you would see it in the viewer — so you can judge the output before you use it on something of your own.
The video is Tears of Steel by Blender Studio, a short film released under CC BY 3.0. We chose it deliberately: that licence permits redistribution with attribution, so we can publish the full text here rather than showing you a cropped screenshot.

You're a jerk, Thom.
Look Celia, we have to follow our passions;
...you have your robotics, and I just want to be awesome in space.
Why don't you just admit that you're freaked out by my robot hand?
I'm not freaked out by- it's...
...alright! Fine!
I'm freaked out! I have nightmares that I'm being chased...
...by these giant robotic claws of death...
Whatever, Thom. We're done.
Robot's memory synced and locked!
This is pretty freaky.
Shouldn't you be down there?
I heard you guys talking last night.
It's not my fault, you know.
Are you ready?
Of course you're ready, you're a rockstar.
How's it looking, Barley?
We should have about ten minutes...
Well that's perfect.
We're on in one! All systems go! Yeah you, go!
Go! Move your asses! Go go go!
I love it! Come on, go!
That's nice.
Nothing to worry about.
Thom.
There she is.
Now.
You love her.
She is your passion!
Be tender to her.
Be honest! Eh- be tender.
Remind her what love is.
...and, action!
Memory overwrite in progress!
You're a jerk, Thom!
Ohp- Sorry! Sorry.
Look Celia.
We have to follow our passions.
You have your robotics...
...and I just want to be awesome in space.
Okay, they're coming. Two minutes left!
Speed it up, Thom!
Vivacissimo!
Why don't you just admit that you're freaked out by my robot hand?
Listen Celia, I was young...
...and a dick.
But that's no reason to destroy the world.
Why does he do this?
We already tried that one!
Abort!
Cut!
Whoaaa!
Whoaaa!
Nooooo!
You broke my heart.
I know.
You forgot me on earth.
I know.
I should just crush you.
I'm-
I'm sorry.
Good ad-lib.
Not my fault!
This time.
Quiet on set!
We're out of time!
Come on!
RAAAAAAAAH!
Memory overwrite, 90%.
Captain! We have to abort!
The world's changed, Celia...
...maybe we can too.
Memory overwrite complete!
You know.
There's a lesson to be learned from this.
Could'a gone worse.
This particular track is auto-generated by YouTube's speech recognition rather than uploaded by the creator. That distinction matters, and the tool labels it on every transcript.
The gaps are real. Notice the jump from 1:01 to 1:57. Nothing was lost — there is simply no speech in between. Captions exist only where someone is talking, so a transcript of a film with long visual sequences will look sparse compared to a transcript of a podcast of the same length.
Timestamps are start times, not ranges. Each line records when it begins and how long it stays on screen. That is why clicking a timestamp takes you to the exact second in the video, and why the SRT and VTT exports can reconstruct proper subtitle timing without guessing.
Punctuation varies by source. Creator-uploaded caption files usually carry full punctuation and speaker labels. Auto-generated tracks often do not, and on some videos arrive as one long unpunctuated run. When that happens, the clean-text export is the one to reach for — it re-flows the lines into paragraphs instead of preserving caption breaks that only made sense on screen.
Some videos have no transcript at all. This tool reads captions that already exist on a video; it does not transcribe audio. If a creator disabled captions and YouTube never generated any, there is nothing to extract, and you will get a clear message saying so rather than an empty page.
The transcript above can be exported in over ten formats. They are not cosmetic variations — each one is shaped for a different job.
Every line prefixed with [M:SS]. This is what you want for note-taking, or for quoting a specific moment back to someone.
Timestamps stripped and lines joined into paragraphs. Optionally removes filler words. Use this when you are pasting into a document and the timing is noise.
Subtitle formats. SRT for video editors (Premiere, Resolve, CapCut); VTT for HTML5 web players. The editor-grade SRT also normalises line lengths so captions do not overflow the frame.
One row or object per line, with start and duration as numbers. This is the format to pick if you are going to analyse the text programmatically.
