Packaging A YouTube Transcript
Packaging A YouTube Transcript for reading/highlighting (for my digital garden):
(Not every YouTube video has a transcript, but many do.)
My current process
- view transcript
- copy/paste whole page into BBEdit text-editor
- strip out top/bottom junk; move header info to top if necessary
- use regex to strip out all the timestamp-lines
- make a new google doc, paste in whole doc
- copy the title to the doc-title, style the in-body title, etc.
- sometimes I go through and every couple pages I try to find a conversation-break and insert a line-break, but that's usually not worth the effort....
- the Download/Export as epub
