About This Tool

This tool processes YouTube video captions to produce lyric text ready for publishing, translation, or repurposing. It locates and fetches timed captions, selects the appropriate language track, and preserves exact timecodes for each lyric line. The output can be exported as plain TXT, or as time-synced formats such as LRC or SRT. Conceptually, it treats captions as a structured lyric timeline and re-serializes that timeline into user-specified formats. The workflow benefits writers who need clean lyric transcripts, editors aligning captions with scripts, and creators repurposing video content for subtitled posts. Unique value arises from format flexibility, timing preservation, and optional translation without altering the original timing structure. Use cases include caption-to-lyric archiving, multilingual lyric localization, and pre-publication lyric proofreading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What happens if the video has no captions?

If captions are unavailable or inaccessible, the tool cannot generate lyric output and will return an error indicating that timed text is missing. It does not perform speech-to-text beyond existing captions and does not fabricate timing.

Can I translate lyrics to another language?

Yes. If translate_to is provided, the tool translates each lyric line while preserving timecodes. Translation uses automated multilingual models and may affect line length; review is recommended for accuracy and cultural nuances.

Which formats are supported and how are timestamps handled?

Supported formats are TXT, LRC, and SRT. TXT provides plain lyrics without timing. LRC adds [mm:ss.xx] tokens to each line. SRT creates time-stamped blocks with sequence numbers. Timing is preserved from the source captions when available.

Is there any licensing consideration?

The tool operates on captions provided by YouTube or auto-generated captions. It does not verify licensing for the underlying lyrics. Users should ensure they have rights to reproduce and publish lyrics beyond the captions themselves.
