## The Copy-Paste Caption Problem
If you've ever tried to save a YouTube transcript manually, you know how slow it is. YouTube has no "Export to Notion" button. So you open the transcript panel, copy chunks of text, switch to Notion, paste, format — then do it all again. A 1-hour video can take 20+ minutes to transcribe by hand.

Pluck skips all of that. One click in the side panel grabs the full transcript and sends it straight to your Notion page — clean, readable, and ready to search.

## Why Searchable Transcripts Change How You Study
Pluck turns the video's captions into clean, readable text and saves it directly to your Notion page — so hours of video becomes something you can actually work with:
- **Search the full video with Ctrl+F** — find any word or phrase instantly without rewatching.
- **Saved as regular Notion text** — edit, highlight, comment, or link to any part.
- **Works alongside your notes** — combine the transcript with screenshots and timestamped notes in one page.
- **Readable formatting** — captions are broken into clean paragraphs, not one big wall of text.
