Over the last 2 years, our studies have migrated from in-person classes to online classes. No one is to blame here for COVID other than our only egg-laying mammal. In any case, we use Microsoft Webstream for all of the lectures, and all of these lectures have transcripts associated with them.
Now, if I say that, what if there is somewhat of an easier way to extract those transcripts? That would make our lives a hell of a lot easier. If you have observed that these transcripts sometimes contain very important information that is not present in the slides, That's why I created this extension, which extracts all the transcripts and presents them to you in a way that you can easily copy and paste them wherever you want them.
- Launch the developer tools by pressing
F12
orCTRL+SHIFT+I
. - Next, click on the double arrow (>>) to see "StreCript" and click on it.
- After this, you should see a welcome screen and an extract button.
- Before clicking on the extract button and without closing the developer tools, reload the page.
- Now click on the extract button and if the extension is able to find the transcript, it will be shown in the box below.
I know that sometimes it can be a pain to open the developer tools, but this was the only way that I could extract the text.
Note: If you are sure that the transcript is present for that video, please reload the page with StreCript open and then click Extract.
