About g21

Designed as a lightweight utility tool for students, creators, and researchers.

g21 was born out of frustration. Most online transcription tools are cluttered with excessive ads, popups, forced registrations, or paywalls just to do a simple task: copy a video transcript to paste into notes.

We built g21 with a simple product philosophy: **No friction**. Paste a URL, get the text under three seconds, and download it. We use YouTube's public timedtext captions directly to provide you with the original transcripts instantly.

Our Core Values

  • Speed first: All actions should complete in under 3 seconds with zero loading screens.
  • Accessibility: Keyboard navigation, clear contrast, and semantic layout.
  • Privacy:We don't store search inputs or log transcripts in databases. What you transcribe remains yours.
