What CueSift does

CueSift 取幕 checks a public YouTube video for an available caption track first. If no usable captions are available and transcription is supported for the task, CueSift can create a timed transcript from the audio. The result can be reviewed in the browser and exported as TXT, SRT, or VTT.

What CueSift does not do

CueSift does not bypass private, members-only, deleted, or region-restricted videos. It does not extract text burned directly into video frames, and it does not claim ownership of the source video or its captions.

Independent product

CueSift is an independent third-party tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google. Product capabilities and limits are published on the YouTube support page.
