President Kennedy's Speech at Rice University

NASA Video

From captions18:15EN
But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal?
And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain?
Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic?
Why does Rice play Texas?
We choose to go to the moon.
We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things,
not because they are easy, but because they are hard,
because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills,
because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept,
one we are unwilling to postpone,
and one we intend to win, and the others, too.

How it works

Three steps, about twenty seconds

  1. Paste the YouTube link

    We get the transcript: the video's captions, or AI speech-to-text when it has none.

  2. Choose timestamps on or off

    On gives one line per caption with its time. Off gives clean paragraphs.

  3. Press DOCX

    The Word file is made in your browser and downloads at once.

How to turn a YouTube transcript into a Word document

  1. Copy the video's link from YouTube.
  2. Paste it in the box above and press Get transcript.
  3. Switch Timestamps on or off.
  4. Press DOCX. The file downloads, ready to open in Word.

What's in the file

  • The video's title, then its creator, platform and length, and the link back to the video.
  • Where the words came from: the creator's captions, automatic captions or AI speech-to-text.
  • The transcript. With timestamps on, one line per caption with its time. With them off, readable paragraphs.
  • For recordings with speaker labels, the speaker's name on each turn.
  • The AI summary and key points at the top, if you pressed Summarize before downloading.

There is no logo or watermark in the document. It's a normal .docx file, so you can edit it, restyle it, comment on it and share it like any other.

Word file in another language

If you translate the transcript first, the Word file follows the language on screen, and notes that it was translated by AI. Right-to-left languages such as Arabic were checked in Microsoft Word. See translate a YouTube transcript.

Why not copy and paste from YouTube?

YouTube's transcript panel splits the text into short timestamped lines, so pasting it into a document gives you a column of fragments. Here you choose between those lines with times and clean paragraphs, and you get a finished file instead of a paste. For the YouTube panel itself, see how to get the transcript of a YouTube video.

Made on your device

The Word file is built in your browser from the transcript on screen. Nothing about the file is sent to us. This also works for transcripts of your own recordings, which we never store.

Need a different format? The same buttons give you plain text, SRT and VTT. Many videos at once: the bulk tool exports every transcript as TXT, CSV or JSON.

Free to start. Pay only for more.

Credits from $5 for 200 transcripts: no daily limit, videos up to 2 hours and a bulk tool for 50 links or a whole channel. See pricing.

Can I download a YouTube transcript as a Word document?

Yes. Paste the link on this page, get the transcript and press DOCX. You get a .docx file that opens in Word.

Can I get the Word file without timestamps?
