Quick answer
No, not every YouTube video has an accessible transcript.
Why some videos have transcripts
Creators may upload captions, or YouTube may generate automatic captions.
Why some videos do not
Captions may never have been created, automatic captions may be unavailable, or transcript access may be restricted.
Manual vs automatic captions
Manual captions are supplied or edited by a creator; automatic captions are generated by YouTube’s speech recognition.
