This is a new project I've been working on. I watch a lot of YouTube videos and I often don't have time go through entire interviews.

So I made this Django websites that grabs a YouTube's video automatic captions and compiles it into a readable format so anyone can read any video.

Then I built the chrome extension that adds a little "transcribe-me" button to every video.

Think this has potential?

Very interesting. Guess it would be cool if you could download it as a pdf if you could tell who was talking and read it for later. Or read on an ebook. Deffo with long Joe Rogan podcasts.

How do I follow you to see what else you work on?

Thanks! Yea I want to add pdf, txt, srt download files. And I also use this for Joe Rogan!

I'm also working on some ios and android apps right now but this was a side project I've been developing to justify my YouTube consumption habits!

Haha, sounds good. Cheers!

This is great - nice work! I also find that I would rather read than watch a video or listen to a podcast, I can read much faster than watch/listen. Clever use of the video captions as well.

How are you handling formatting and the punctuation?

Nice loading messages by the way.

Thanks, I'm using some custom Regex and a python package called punctuator. It's not 100% perfect but it works better then you'd imagine.
