What this adds

One row under Productivity, placed alphabetically between Vidora and Vimium.

* [VidWords](https://vidwords.com/extension) - Captures the transcript of the YouTube video in the current tab and exports it as TXT, SRT, VTT or Word, including on videos where YouTube's own transcript panel is missing. Adds AI summaries and timestamped notes.

Why it belongs

It reads captions from the page itself rather than scraping YouTube from a server, which is why it still works on videos whose transcript panel is unavailable. Export is TXT, SRT, VTT or Word; notes carry a timestamp that links back to the exact moment.

The section already carries YouTube-specific tools (Video Blocker, Zenith - Upgrade for YouTube) and product-site URLs rather than store links (CiteMe, Detox, ZenHub), so both the category and the link style match what is there.

Disclosure

I maintain VidWords. In-browser transcript capture is free and unlimited with no card or account required; paid tiers cover server-side and AI work.
