Paste any YouTube URL and get a clean, AI-ready transcript in under 5 seconds. Works with regular videos, Shorts, age-restricted content, and auto-generated captions.
No browser extension. No YouTube sign-in. No manual copy-pasting from the caption panel.
Grab the URL from your browser address bar, the YouTube Share button, or a youtu.be short link. All formats work: full URLs, shorts links, playlist items, and embed URLs.
→Paste the URL into ClawGrab and hit the orange GRAB button. Our engine auto-detects YouTube, fetches official captions or runs speech-to-text if none exist.
→Receive a clean transcript with timestamps, noise stripped out, ready to paste into ChatGPT, Claude, Notion, Google Docs, or download as a .txt file.
No YouTube sign-in needed. ClawGrab extracts transcripts from age-gated content server-side. You never have to verify your age.
Paste a Shorts URL and get the transcript. Shorts use the same extraction pipeline as regular videos. Typically processes in under 3 seconds.
YouTube auto-generates captions in dozens of languages. ClawGrab pulls the best available caption track and delivers clean text regardless of language.
Auto-strips [Music], [Applause], [Laughter], duplicate lines, and VTT formatting junk. What you get is pure spoken content, ready for AI.
Toggle timestamps on or off. When enabled, every line is tagged with its exact [H:MM:SS] position in the video for precise referencing.
For videos without any captions, ClawGrab runs Whisper-based speech recognition to generate a transcript from the audio directly.
10 free grabs. No sign-up. No credit card. No extension to install.
