How to get a YouTube transcript in Kannada

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

  2. 2

    Paste it above

Kannada captions or a Kannada translation

Kannada videos often have auto-captions in Kannada script, and news and film channels upload their own. When a video has no Kannada track, the tool machine-translates the transcript, which is accurate enough to follow along, study, or search. For publishing, have a Kannada speaker review it.

Learn Kannada with YouTube

Read a video's Kannada 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.

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

Can I download Kannada subtitles?

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

Are Kannada auto-captions accurate?

Kannada videos often have auto-captions in Kannada script, and news and film channels upload their own. 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.
