About This Project

YouTube Subtitle Timeline Generator

This tool allows you to extract subtitles from YouTube videos and transform them into an interactive, searchable timeline. It's perfect for researchers, content creators, students, and anyone who needs to quickly navigate video content.

With our timeline generator, you can:

• Extract subtitles from any YouTube video that has them available
• View the entire transcript in an easy-to-read timeline format
• Click on any part of the transcript to jump to that exact moment in the video
• Search for specific words or phrases within the video
• Export the subtitles in different formats for your own use

How It Works

Our application uses the YouTube API to access video metadata and subtitle tracks. When you enter a YouTube URL, we check if the video has subtitles available, extract them, and process them into a interactive timeline format.

Technology Stack

This application is built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. It uses the YouTube Data API and YouTube Caption API to fetch video information and subtitle content.

Privacy

We don't store any video content or subtitles permanently. All processing is done on-demand and data is not retained between sessions. We only use the YouTube API to fetch publicly available data.
