YouTube transcription
Paste a link, and ZoopZip downloads the video to your own computer and transcribes it there — private study notes, lecture recordings, and research material, without uploading anything to a third-party service.
Click the YouTube toggle at the top of the ZoopZip window to reveal the paste-a-link bar.
Paste the YouTube video URL and click Download.
The video is fetched to your own computer — up to 1080p, one video at a time (not playlists).
The download joins the normal queue automatically. Pick a model and language, then click Transcribe — the whole process runs offline on your machine.
Turn a recorded lecture or talk into searchable, copy-pasteable text for studying or citing.
Pull an accurate transcript from an interview or talk you're citing or summarizing, without watching it back to take notes.
Generate SRT or VTT subtitles for a video you've uploaded, ready to re-upload or edit.
Most transcription tools that support a YouTube link fetch and process the video on their servers — Sonix and Descript both work this way, and Rev sends it to a cloud transcription pipeline. Otter.ai doesn't support a YouTube link at all; you'd have to download the video yourself first.
ZoopZip downloads the video straight to your computer and transcribes it there. Nothing is sent to ZoopZip, to Amiplay, or to anyone else. See the full comparison for how this stacks up feature by feature, or the step-by-step guide to downloading YouTube videos for offline viewing if you just want the video itself.
Yes. Paste a YouTube link into the app and ZoopZip downloads the video, then transcribes it exactly like any other file you drop in — model, language, and export options all work the same way.
No. ZoopZip downloads the video to your own computer and transcribes it there. The audio and the transcript never leave your machine.
Up to 1080p — enough for clear audio, without downloading a needlessly large 4K file just to get the words out of it.
Not yet — one video link at a time. Paste each link you need separately.
No. The video is saved to your computer so ZoopZip can transcribe it, but once you have your transcript you're free to delete it — the video file and the transcript are independent.
That depends on the video and what you do with it. Only download content you own or have permission to use — ZoopZip and Amiplay Co., Ltd. accept no liability for any loss, damage, or legal consequences arising from its misuse. Many people use this for their own uploads, permitted educational recordings, or content they have explicit rights to.
