Show HN: Turn any YouTube video into a website/transcript

[jeanmayer]

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!

It would be really nice if you could click a sentence and jump to that point in the video.

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

Now I can finally learn what's this Hypercard everyone at HN is talking about:

This is pretty cool! I'd love to be able to embed this on my website so everything was in one place.

Killer, I liked how well it did it and the speed. Good job.

I would add an option to run it thru grammar checker as an enhancement.

Font and whitespace need adjustment, otherwise this is a great tool for skimming long presentations!

Would be nice to have paragraphs

Thanks a lot! Do you have any feedback about the "blog" page?
