Ditto: The Privacy-First YouTube & Course Transcript Generator Ditto is a high-performance, 100% local browser utility that allows you to instantly extract and copy transcripts from YouTube and major education platforms with a single click. No accounts, no subscriptions, and zero cloud data transfer. Why Choose Ditto? Most transcript generators today are bloated AI tools that require you to log in, pay a fee, and send your browsing data to a remote server. Ditto is different.

No Servers: All processing happens locally in your browser. MIT-Licensed: Open-source code that anyone can audit on GitHub for total transparency.
