YouTube Transcript Search
Type a word or phrase and TimeCue finds every moment it's said, then jumps you straight to the timestamp. It's Ctrl+F for video — search one transcript or your entire library at once.
YouTube only searches titles and descriptions — not what's actually spoken. So when you remember a line from a video but not where it was, you're stuck dragging the progress bar back and forth.
A YouTube transcript search fixes that. Instead of scrubbing, you search the caption text itself and land on the exact second the words are said.
Paste a YouTube link. TimeCue reads the captions and builds a searchable transcript automatically.
Type any word or phrase. TimeCue does a full transcript search and lists every matching moment — a true word search inside the video.
Click any result to jump straight to that timestamp. No scrubbing, no rewatching.
The built-in YouTube transcript only covers one video. TimeCue lets you search captions across your whole library — ask "where did anyone explain aperture?" and get matching moments from every tutorial you've saved, each with a one-click jump.

Add a YouTube video to TimeCue and it builds a searchable transcript automatically. Type any word or phrase, and TimeCue shows every moment it's spoken with a clickable timestamp — no scrubbing required.
Yes. TimeCue's cross-video search looks through the captions and transcripts of every video in your library at once, so one search returns matching moments from all of them.
YouTube's transcript only lets you Ctrl+F one video at a time in a cramped panel, and only when a transcript is shown. TimeCue searches inside the video content directly, works across your whole library, and jumps you to the exact second on click.
Any YouTube video with subtitles — including auto-generated captions — works. TimeCue reads the available transcript so you can search what's actually said.
You can start free: the free plan covers 3 hours of video per month. Each video is only processed once, so searching it again later is free.
