#32The burning hate I feel for all information to be locked away in a YouTube video. This will solve that real world problem. I love reading (or, skimming) through a long read.
Not sure if you know that, but YouTube has a transcript feature available for years now. It's somewhat hidden in the interface, but let's you search with ctrl-F (or command-F) in the transcript
Yeah this website just extract the transcript that exists and displays it alongside the video. It's nice, but it's not doing the transcribing itself.

#33https://youtubetranscript.com/?v=DvxxdZpMFHg "Error: transcripts disabled for that video" Why?
Youtube didn't generate captions for that video

#34Fwiw YouTube already has a feature for this. Click the "..." next to the share and click Show Transcript. There are also extensions like https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/youtube-captions-s... that makes it easy to search them in a popup.

Google Search actually indexes transcripts of a video and shows you some YouTube results based on that even though the title/description of the video doesn't match the search query.

I had a huge backlog of tech videos, so I wrote me this (also to play a bit with Haskell, the base idea can be replicated easily in any language though): https://github.com/rberenguel/glancer

#37Maybe this is a bit off topic, but does anyone know the legal footing of having a business with another businesses name in it? For instance, this tool uses the word "YouTube" in its name, though it is used as only a part of it, and it is not a competitor. I've always wondered how this works.
These companies tend to rename themselves when they become popular.

#38Hook this up to a language model, and maybe a user could instantly get the one sentence worth of information that the YouTube video creator buries in 10 minutes of monetized noise.
And also save yourself time when the creator teases that they provide the info, but it turns out they don't, they're just trying to get views.

I've published almost 1,800 video diaries and this is a game changer for me. I've been wanting to do more with the back catalog, but don't have transcripts.

#40Earlier quoted context omitted.
Youtube already auto-generates transcripts that you can see in the ... menu in most videos. This website just seems like an alternative frontend?
Or maybe it processes the video with its own backend ? How do you tell
First indication is the processing speed - there's known machine in the world that could transcribe videos in such speed.
