If you're looking to make money / provide more value with this service I think the angle you should try for is Video to Blog Post.

The transcript is fine but I'm not quite sure what problem this solves. Whereas if you were able to take the transcript and spit out a file that was broken into sections (based on YT chapters) and with an attempt to automatically clean up the grammar and remove the "um" style fill words of the spoken version I think this would hit in a very different way.

Thanks for the suggestion! That's a cool idea - will consider putting it on the roadmap :)

+1000 I've been trying to do this (split into sections and eliminate umms) with recordings of live classes... it takes me 4 hours per each hour of recording.

if you can make this process faster the world will throw money at your feet.. at least I will

You should try Descript[1]. One of its features is automatic filer word removal. I'm not affiliated, just a happy user.

Second this. One thing I find useful in quarantine is to extract a cook recipe from video transcripts. What I do now is opening the youtube transcripts (sometimes unavailable), pasting it into Notion and then hand-typing the sections.
