How it works
-
01
Paste the video link
Copy the link of the Korean video, or many links one per line in Bulk videos.
-
02
Korean is pre-selected
The button above opens the app with Korean chosen in the Captions menu. If a video has no Korean captions, you get English, then whatever language it has.
-
03
Copy or download
Copy the Korean text, or download TXT, SRT, VTT, Markdown, CSV or Excel with a free account.
Why use Free YT Bulk Transcripts
Timed lines for study
Download as SRT or VTT with timestamps to follow along with the video line by line, which is how most people use these for language practice.
No captions, no charge
Korean videos without any captions are skipped and cost 0 credits.
Whole channels and playlists
On paid plans paste a Korean channel or playlist and collect up to 250 videos per run.
Good to know
- Korean uses spaces between words, so word counts behave much as they do in English, unlike Japanese or Chinese.
- English is the default, so a video with both English and Korean captions gives English unless Korean is chosen in the Captions menu (the button on this page chooses it for you).
- Automatic captions handle clear studio speech well but struggle with overlapping talk in variety shows and with honorific endings in fast speech.
- Files are saved in UTF-8, so Hangul opens correctly in Excel, Google Sheets and subtitle editors.
Frequently asked questions
Can I download the transcript of a Korean YouTube video?
Yes, when the video has Korean captions. Choose Korean in the Captions menu (the button on this page does it for you), paste the link and get the text in Hangul.
Will it translate Korean to English, or give me romanisation?
Neither. We never translate or transliterate. You get the Korean captions exactly as YouTube has them. If you want English, keep the default: English captions are used when the video has them.
Can I use this for language study?
Yes, and SRT or VTT is usually the better download for that, because each line keeps its timestamp so you can follow the video as you read.
Can I get transcripts of a whole Korean channel?
Yes, on paid plans. Paste the channel link, keep Korean selected, and get up to 250 videos per run; videos without captions cost nothing.
Is it free?
Your first 10 videos each day are free without an account. A free account adds 25 free credits and downloads; credit packs start at $4.99 for 650 transcripts.
