Quick answer
Downloading a transcript gives you a local copy you can keep, search, quote, or reuse later.
Download with FlowTranscript
Retrieve the available transcript and use the TXT download option.
Why TXT is useful
Plain text is lightweight, opens almost everywhere, and is easy to move between tools.
Can YouTube download transcripts directly?
YouTube may show a transcript panel, but it does not always provide a simple transcript-download workflow.
What about SRT or VTT?
SRT and VTT export are not part of FlowTranscript’s current product scope.
