"YouTube [has] added a cool feature for videos with closed captions: you can now click on the "transcript" button to expand the entire listing. If you click on a line, YouTube will show the excerpt from the video corresponding to the text."
I'm not sure is this new and fresh |
Example video provided (i.e. found) by the source:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY3U2GXhz44 |
It's available for days now. I'm still searching for any interest for that, as I bet your screen isn't big enough to see both the video and the transcript together without scrolling. |
Jérôme even created a post on this forum about that, three days ago. http://blogoscoped.com/forum/171472.html |
What is the use case for this? |
"If you text it, they'll read it?" ;-)) |
Tom:
Someone sent the tip 5 days ago, but I couldn't post it at that time. Here's a use case: search inside a video using your browser's find feature (Ctrl+F). Another use case: music lyrics / karaoke. |
Thanks for pointing to the specific thread (the duplicate finder doesn't generated a warning either) and for the background info. |
