YouTube Transcript Scraper Pro (Captions + AI Fallback)

Extract YouTube transcripts at scale without burning through your budget. It starts with free captions whenever they're available, then switches to AI only for videos that don't have them. You stay in control of costs, and the output — JSON, SRT, VTT, plain text, or LLM-ready format
