This is a weird nostalgic blast from the past for me. A teacher of mine in high school had a cart of these for his English composition classes, and I never got a chance to dig into what was actually inside one.

Lovely stuff, I haven't seen one of this series for a few years, look forward to watching this later.

I love watching his videos. 3 hours of tech-poking and coding, it's so calming :)

Is there a text transcript anywhere?

(For those of us who hate video and can't absorb information that way.)

I don't remember a good transcription tool, but if you want to play with APIs, IBM had a Watson-branded one that could do it. We used it at Workday and it worked so well we discovered (the hard way, of course) we needed to check transcripts for curse words.

There is not, because none of it was scripted and any semblance of narrative flow was crudely faked in editing. But it's a reasonable request. I'll try pushing the audio through Whisper and see what comes out. Google will, eventually, do it's own speech recognition but historically it hates my accent.
