PSA: If you do not like seeing YouTube video threads on DU's Latest page, do this

35. When I am really interested in the topic of a video, I make a transcript for my and others' skimming and saving.

Work in progress, since things change (surprise)

Get the video URL (link)
Paste it into this site:
https://www.tubetranscript.com/en
Alternate site
https://www.youtranscripts.com/

COPY the text. It's usually unformatted/unreadable.

So, go to Sentence Splitter (nobody splits paragraphs, sorry)
https://sentencesplitter.com/
Paste the text there. Get the result. Copy the result.
This will give you text (or just save a doc file, but you can't share that here)

SO go to pastebin.com
Paste the text and ask for "new paste"
Sometimes, it REFUSES to post the text (you said naughty things or cursed the Fuhrer)

So, in that case, use
https://rentry.co/

To paste text and get a permanent link that you can post here (the URL bar has it when you are done)

A DAMN LOT?
Well, I do it semi-frequently because I can't handle videos. They put me to sleep, and

• You can't skim
• You can't reasonably seek anything
• You can't save for search or future reference
• Videos typically cram 3 minutes of information into 30 minutes or more.

I'll update when things change.

There really are no hosting sites that are free and easy to use where I can post files like doc files and pdf's.
And I am Google-Free. Google is pure evil.
