Jesus you can have more than one word in the name of a piece of software. At least call it "Hieroglyph Reader" or something. Can't tell what it does by the name and there's a namespace conflict.

The more common the name, the more important the project. Even more so if it reuses the name of an existing project.

#23You can also get a YouTube video transcript directly from the API with one call, just register for a free developer key and use: https://youtube.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/captions?part=snip... official docs: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/captions
“ Quota impact: A call to this method has a quota cost of 50 units.”?

Doesn't work unless there are subtitles (WARNING: video doesn't have subtitles), which seems to be different from captions.

#25This looks great. Tried it out with two videos and the resulting text seems to cut off around 3500 words.

#26Does anyone know of a tool (extension?) that will translate captions (even badly) for YouTube videos? Sure I could you use youtube-dl and run the result through Google Translate, but I'm looking for something automated.
This is the equivalent of "use youtube-dl and run the result through Google Translate[1]:"
youtube-dl --sub-langs [DESIRED LANGUAGE]

#27I don't get it. What's the advantage of this compared to the "view transcript" functionality on the video page itself? It might be confined to a small window, but at least it has timestamps and isn't one long wall of text.
I was actually looking for something like this to do some topic discovery and association on podcasts (most of which also had a YouTube channel).

TIL: there's an "open transcript" functionality on YouTube. It's very well hidden. I wouldn't have found it if your comment didn't prompt me to look for it.

Some videos remove that option. (Haven't tried to see how Hierglyph handles that situation though.)
