Any chance timestamps could be added?

With youtube dl you can download the subtitle tracks which should have timestamps. Though last time I checked they were broken (showing the whole test on the first timestamp) but perhaps they fixed it

For Power Point and screenshare based videos, a screenshot every 15 seconds or so would be great.
Often enough I'd rather read than watch. Reading in faster. Having corresponding visuals would be a big plus.

#45This script for whisper.cpp works really well

for my purposes I changed the output from subtitles to txt (so I could pipe the result into chatgpt)

#46Maybe 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.
Not sure about YouTube but WordPress does not allow the use of the name. WP in your (e.g.) domain name is ok. WordPress is not.
I'd imagine it's very similar for others. Often a company will pursue a violation if only to be consistent in showing the courts they actively defend their copy right.

#47The 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.
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
Heh, this basically makes a storyboard

#48Hook 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.
...or, just follow decent creators.
No snark intended, but i just gave up with the dross. And even some of them, of late, are getting a bit crafty. But, creators get one chance from me now - give me decent content, or even with the fancy chapters, you're not getting my eyeballs past two minutes. What I have found is that leaving the decent stuff on, what auto-plays after is 'generally' of similar quality. A quick set of back-buttoning and bookmarking has fairly often got me some interesting results.

Most corporations regularly search for such domains, and submit cease-and-desist. I received one related to an eBay-related domain, but in my case, I hadn't built a business around it so it was easy enough to just take the site offline.

#50Fwiw 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.
Regular "find in page" works to search the transcript on YouTube. I use it often.
