Six things it does well
Click-to-seek
Tap any line in the sidebar and the YouTube player jumps to that timestamp. No scrubbing.
Translate to 100+ languages
Switch the entire transcript to your language with one tap — Spanish, Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, French, and many more.
Auto-scroll like lyrics
The panel follows the speaker. The current cue stays highlighted in view as the video plays.
Copy the current line
One tap copies the line currently playing — perfect for notes, quotes, or vocabulary.
Search every line
Type a phrase to filter the transcript. Click any match to jump there.
Lives inside YouTube
The sidebar mounts into YouTube's right column. Sticky-top, ~60% viewport height, doesn't steal scroll from the page.
How we get the transcript (and why it never leaves your browser)
Pip Cue calls YouTube's own timedtext endpoint — the same one YouTube's player uses internally to show captions. Translation goes through the same endpoint with the &tlang= parameter, routed by YouTube's translation backend.
All caption data lives only in your active tab. We don't upload it, log it, store it on any server, or remember which videos you read transcripts of. Read the full privacy policy.
