Hey HN! I built a free tool that generates transcripts from YouTube videos with timestamps. Key features: - 100% free, no signup required - 99% accuracy with Whisper V3 - Multiple export formats (TXT, SRT, VTT) - 60+ languages auto-detection - Includes timestamps for navigation I noticed many existing tools either require signup, have paywalls, or produce low-quality transcripts.
