First indication is the processing speed - there's known machine in the world that could transcribe videos in such speed.
How about a cluster in parallel?
The simplest explanation is often the most probable one.
Why would you reach for a cluster of machines working in parallel, when you could retrieve the already auto-created transcript from YouTube servers?
Also, other comments have pointed out that the transcripts are identical with the ones created by YouTube, which would be unlikely to happen if this service was creating transcripts of their own.

#74Fwiw 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.
They seem to have moved the functionality to the end of the description, and there you can find the "Show captions" button.
The extension I made to export the transcript was based on this YouTube functionality, I should update the instructions now.

#75Hook 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.
YouTube created that problem by incentivizing longer videos. And now we have videos with tons of fluff. Similarly Google incentivizes longer webpages, so now we have recipes that start with a novella about grandma’s cooking before showing the actual recipe. It used to be nice to see a video’s thumbs up to thumbs down ratio to know if you’ve been click baited or not before watching the whole video. But that signal has…
As a
recipe reader
I want to
dismiss cookies, have a video ad follow me down the page, and read why this cake conjures up memories of the author's childhood, before reaching the actual recipe
so that
I feel connected to the author, before fully committing to mixing ingredients

Are you sure Google prefers longer pages? I find (annoyingly) that Google likes the search version of my page for lots of things. E.g. a page called "best x of the y" the page for searching comments on that page called "best x of y search" where the only text is the title and a search input, will rank really well

That "user story" is like a tragically misinterpreted comment by someone at a prospective customer, speaking of a special time with their grandmother, but garbled through N layers of field sales, marketing, product managers, engineering hierarchy, and Agile task management.
Including the part about declining more cookies offered (to save room for grandma's lasagna).

#78My only complaint is with the layout of the site - could you please make the transcripts span across the whole width of the page, not just to the right of the video?
My one gripe with Youtube's own transcript box is that it is too narrow, so it is a shame that a website designed to specifically make the transcripts more readable also displays the transcripts in a narrow box.

#80Maybe 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.
