Hey HN, ExpoReader is a viewer for YouTube videos that shows the transcript of the video, and generates a shareable URL for a completely readable version of a video. I built it because I wanted helpful tutorials without having to watch an entire video.
In a later version, I was thinking it could be cool to show other screenshots from the video throughout the transcript, but there’s really no easy way to do that outside of downloading the video and taking clips from there. If anyone has any good suggestions, I’m all ears!
I used to upload course videos to youtube just to get the auto-generated transcripts for myself.
I forked oTranscribe so it would load a special version of these transcripts with clickable time stamps.
Here's an example for studying and taking notes on a VSL: https://otranscribe.netlify.app/?vsl=thebiorhythm
