Transcript-only YouTubeToTranscript helper with a floating player-bar popup for Safari userscript managers.
YouTube Transcript Floating Bar adds a small transcript button directly inside the YouTube video player controls. Clicking the button opens a floating transcript panel on top of the player.
The script is designed as a lightweight transcript-only helper for YouTube and mobile YouTube, especially for userscript managers where a full browser extension may not be available or convenient.
This script sends the current YouTube video ID to youtubetotranscript.com in order to request transcript data.
Login tokens, timestamp settings, and temporary transcript cache data are stored locally by your userscript manager. The script does not submit comments, modify YouTube content, or interact with your YouTube account.
This script is useful if you want quick access to a readable YouTube transcript directly from the player, without opening YouTube's built-in transcript panel or leaving the video page.
It is especially helpful for copying transcripts, jumping through long videos by timestamp, summarizing videos with ChatGPT, or using transcripts in browsers where extension support is limited.
