How to search within a transcript and jump to timestamps
Step-by-step guide
Open a video detail page
From your Dashboard, click any video card that has the "Ready" status. This opens the video detail page which shows the full transcript alongside the video metadata.
Use the search box
At the top of the transcript panel you will find a search box labelled "Search transcript…". Type any word or phrase you are looking for. Results update instantly as you type — no need to press Enter.
Review highlighted matches
Every occurrence of your search term is highlighted in yellow within the transcript text. A small counter in the search box shows how many matches were found (e.g. "4 of 4"). Use the up/down arrows beside the counter to jump between matches.
Click a timestamp to open that moment in YouTube
Each transcript segment has a timestamp on the left side (e.g. [01:23]). Click any timestamp to open YouTube in a new tab with the video cued to that exact moment. This is especially useful for jumping to a specific section of a long lecture or podcast.
