YouTube auto-captions are 90-95% accurate for clear English speech, lower for accents, music, or low-quality audio.
Related Tools
YouTube videos with captions (auto-generated or human-authored) expose a Show Transcript option in the three-dot menu. The transcript panel shows the full timed text which you can copy to a text file. For your own uploads, YouTube Studio offers direct SRT/VTT download in the Subtitles panel. Creative Commons videos with permissive licenses are the safest source for redistributing transcripts.
