Video Transcripts

[technojeff]

Hi, 

I'm an older guy who still like to read to get his info, so are there transcripts available of your videos?  I love your videos and they are best in class for tech, however, sometimes I don't have time to watch a full video and skimming through text would be better. If there is something that is not clear then I can view that specific part. 

Keep up the astounding work you do and thanks!

Welcome to the forums!
You can use YT to show transcript

But it's auto generated so it's not the best.

I just picked a random video from 3 days ago and there is a transcript. It looks like it's auto generated, so it might not be perfect, and it won't show up immediately after the video uploads. Still useful for getting most of the info, and for jumping to a specific spot in the video.

 

I had to "show more" underneath the video (on desktop), and it was at the very bottom.

 

Edit: Ninja'd!

Thanks! I see it now, its helpful. 
Now a download option would be nice...  and yes, I can select all of it and copy and paste, but there's no punctuation...
The transcription AI should be sophisticated enough to save the text with basic punctuation. 
LTT Mod - please pass my idea onto the  appropriate person.

For fully scripted videos it should be script with little edits. But about half of the content is not scripted.
