Is YouTube Video Transcript safe?

Clean risk

YouTube Video Transcript sends YouTube video IDs and transcript or summary requests to yt-to-text.com.

When you use its transcript and summary features on YouTube, the extension extracts the current video ID from the page URL and sends it with your access token and language settings to yt-to-text.com. It also posts usage checks with the video ID and request count before allowing subtitle access.
