There is a tool like this and I’ve used it. But I forgot about it until now and it only got what was available, an automatic translation too bad to even laugh at. But it should be possible to find it. Dunno, YouTube caption download or something like this should do the trick.
Comment on Move over, text: Video is the new medium of our lives

Says the text based article😅… Load of shit. There’s little I despise more than someone making a video of something that could have been two lines of text or hell, 20 lines of text. Video can be such an expressive medium, stop sitting on the format by using inappropriatly. If anything the pendulum has already swung way too far towards video and hopefully things will rationalize soon. When I have to watch some dumb video, I put captions on and usually just read the captions. Wish there was a tool for YouTube that just extracted whole caption transcripts so I didn’t even need to play the videos.

And Grayjay (Android and maybe iOS app) allows it as well.

I tried grayjay, kind of interesting. Do not see anyone to extract a transcript though

If you click “see more” in the description, there is a transcription! It’s still kinda pain im the ass, but allows getting through it faster…it’s not perfect tho.
Also. Captions and 2x speed ftw.
