Get the video URL, ususlly the little"lazy 8"

Plug the video URL into:

https://www.youtranscripts.com/

Copy the transcript. There's a button to do so. The transcript may be badly formatted. So, go to

https://sentencesplitter.com/

And paste the transcript. Nothing I found splits paragraphs, so this has to do.

It will let you copy the easier try read result (manually, sadly for phone users without a Command-A "select all" key).

If I could share the doc file it offers, great, but pdf and doc hosting are a PITA.

To share, Go to

https://pastebin.com and paste the copied text there. Ask for a "new paste"

It may refuse!

If it doesn't refuse, hit the "raw" button and grab the URL off the address/search bar. Done.

Post it here on DU.

If not, try

https://rentry.co/

Naturally, this is tedious, and I do it only for videos that get my interest.
