❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, completely free. All tools are available at no cost with no account required. We're supported by non-intrusive advertising, so you never need to sign up, subscribe, or pay anything.

Absolutely. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your transcript content is never sent to any server, stored in a database, or logged anywhere. It is completely private — even we can't see it.

No account, no email, no sign-up. Open the tool, paste your transcript, and clean it. That's it.

Click Show transcript near the bottom of the description — you may need to click "...more" first to expand it. A panel opens on the right. Select all the text inside (Ctrl+A), copy it (Ctrl+C), and paste it into our YouTube Transcript Cleaner.

We support YouTube auto-generated transcripts, Zoom VTT files and plain-text transcripts, Otter.ai TXT exports, and virtually any other plain-text transcript format through our Universal Cleaner.

TranscriptFixer is simply a formatting tool — we don't create or own any transcript content. Whether you can use a transcript commercially depends on the original content's copyright and platform terms, which is entirely separate from our tool.
