fetch-youtube-transcript

Fetches a YouTube video's transcript with yt-dlp — preferring human-made captions, falling back to auto-generated ones, and offering local Whisper transcription only when neither exists — then converts the VTT into clean plain text. Use when the user shares a YouTube URL and asks to "get the transcript", "download subtitles", "get captions", or "transcribe this video". Not for downloading video files, ripping audio for other purposes, or bypassing private, age-restricted, or region-locked videos.
