How to get a YouTube transcript in Dutch

  1. 1

    Copy the video link

    Any YouTube video, Short, or finished livestream, in Dutch or any other language.

  2. 2

Dutch captions or a Dutch translation

Dutch and Flemish videos usually have accurate auto-captions. When a video has no Dutch track, the tool machine-translates the transcript, which is accurate enough to follow along, study, or search. For publishing, have a Dutch speaker review it.

Learn Dutch with YouTube

Read a video's Dutch captions with your own language underneath, click any line to replay it, and download the bilingual transcript to study offline. Pick videos with creator-uploaded captions for the most accurate text.

Common questions

How do I get a Dutch transcript of a YouTube video?

Paste the link above. The tool uses the video's Dutch captions when it has them and translates the transcript into Dutch when it doesn't.

Can I translate an English video into Dutch?

Yes. Any video's transcript can be translated into Dutch. Turn on Show original to read both languages line by line, and download them together as a bilingual SRT or TXT.

Can I download Dutch subtitles?

Yes. After the transcript loads, click SRT or VTT for a Dutch subtitle file with the original timings.

Are Dutch auto-captions accurate?

Dutch and Flemish videos usually have accurate auto-captions. Clear speech with little background noise gives the best results.

Is it free?

Yes. A few videos a day need no account, and signing in with Google raises the limit.
