Both Chrome extensions pull captions from any public YouTube video; what you can do with that text is where they differ.
YouTube To Text — Snapshot
One click → full transcript beside the player
Instant keyword search inside the text
AI summary on demand
Supports 99+ languages
Taqtic — Snapshot
Generates a transcript, but the built‑in summary feels formulaic and frequently overlooks important nuances.
Highlighting is available, yet auto‑save sometimes fails and timestamps can drift during long videos.
Export is limited to PDF or DOCX; the output often requires manual re‑formatting afterward.
Freemium model: most advanced options live behind a costly Pro tier, and the “mind‑map” feature is little more than a simple outline.
Quick Take‑away
Need raw text fast, with built‑in search and summaries? Grab YouTube To Text. Need an all‑in‑one AI suite and don’t mind paying? Try Taqtic but be ready for heavier costs and extra cleanup.
