Turn a TED Talk link into a transcript you can follow
Paste a public TED Talk URL and read the spoken ideas as timestamped text beside the video. Move between the transcript and the original moment without repeatedly searching through the talk.
Jump from transcript lines to the right moment
Timestamps connect each part of the TED Talk transcript to the original recording, making a quote, example, or explanation easier to find.
Play the video in the same workspace and return to the source whenever a name, number, or technical phrase needs checking.
Turn TED Talk ideas into useful notes
Search the transcript for arguments, examples, quotations, and recurring themes instead of replaying the entire talk.
Use the selected passages as source material for study notes, lesson preparation, research references, or discussion prompts.
Export the transcript for reading or captions
Download the reviewed TED Talk transcript as text or a document when you need a clean version for reading, editing, or sharing.
Choose a timed subtitle format when the words need to stay connected to the original video timeline.
