you are correct, originally youtube didnt have this when i made it in 2019 with deepspeech, now they do but i just always preferred the idea of it being on the timebar to just click and go right to it. tbh i should just make a simple addon to take the youtube timestamps and slap it onto the timebar. also for the split chunks this would have no problem there as the transcript is actually stored in a json file, so any concurrent words will always be matchable for phrases. ofc downside being you need to run the model lol

I'd use an extension that made the transcript show by default on every video and added a transcript search bar in the page. That would be great.

i guess i might aswell do it so i dont need to run a model everytime myself too lol ill have it done in a day or two

If that also saved a copy of the transcript, with meta data added (title, channel, url, smilar vids) - as a text file on my local machine - I would actually use this as well.

Wait, is this using a cloud service in some way or is it all local / total private? That would be a deal breaker or maker.

Oh might as well copy a screen shot of the thumbnail and save it.

I built an extension that injected a search bar into the transcript card. Worked by filtering the YouTube transcripts themselves, and manipulating their display attribute.

Didn't release it to the store because YouTube released a search feature and it looked exactly like mine.

would you prefer if the timestamp was hidden since it takes up a bigass portion of the screen or that being an option to hide it in the extension settings?
