YTTranskripto

YTTranskripto is a desktop application that allows users to retrieve and export YouTube video transcripts effortlessly. Built with Python and PyQt5, the app leverages the youtube-transcript-api and pytube libraries to fetch transcripts and provides flexible export options in multiple formats (TXT, CSV, JSON, DOCX, SRT). The application also offers options to toggle the inclusion of timestamps and select the preferred timestamp format, all within a sleek dark-themed interface.
