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?

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!
