The app now wears its own mark from the studio's Art Director: a red speech bubble with two caption bars and a play triangle, beside the app's name. The browser tab uses the matching icon, with a version for phone home screens. Buttons and highlights switch from blue to the kit's video red, in shades measured to stay readable.

Some videos offer YouTube's automatic captions in twenty-odd translated languages, listed with nothing to mark the original. The app used to take whichever came first, which once meant a transcript in Bangla for an English video. It now picks English when it's there, and falls back to whatever exists for videos in other languages.

Copy Transcript now puts the video's title and channel on top of the text, so a pasted transcript still says where it came from.

A small local web app: paste a YouTube link and get the whole video as readable text, with a button that copies it. It uses the captions the creator uploaded when there are any, and YouTube's automatic captions otherwise, and a badge says which one you got. When a video has no captions at all, it says so plainly instead of failing silently. Every transcript is kept in a history list with its thumbnail, channel and date, so an old one is a click away; entries can be removed. A double-click launcher starts it, or just opens the browser if it's already running.
