Frequently Asked Questions
Does this also work with Google Docs?
Absolutely! The clean text formatting works perfectly whether you are pasting into Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Apple Pages, or Notion.
Why does copying natively from YouTube break Word formatting?
YouTube formats text in 2-second subtitle blocks. When you copy it, Word registers each block as a hard paragraph break, creating a tall, unreadable column of text. Our tool fixes this by merging the blocks.
