Common questions
Is the quote finder free?
Yes. A few videos a day are free with no account, and signing in with Google raises the limit.
Are the quotes exact?
They're copied from the captions, with only punctuation and capitalization tidied. Auto-generated captions can mishear words, so check a quote against the video before publishing.
How do I link to the exact moment?
Click a quote's timestamp. It opens YouTube at that second, and the copied text includes the same link.
Can I search for a specific quote instead?
Yes. Use the YouTube transcript search tool to find every moment a word or phrase is said.
Does it work in other languages?
Yes. Quotes come from the video's captions in their original language.
