[Athen] Captioning YouTube Videos

[Joseph Polizzotto]

HI Alex:

Another option is to use DIY Captions <https://www.diycaptions.com/>

Simply paste the YouTube URL in the "Paste a YouTube URL" edit field on the
DIY Captions page, press enter, and select the get text button. A new tab
will open with the transcript of the YouTube video, which you can edit as
necessary.

You can then copy your edited transcript, paste back into YouTube's
subtitle editor, and set the timings.

Note: DIY Captions also has a captions editor with many useful shortcuts,
yet there were accessibility issues last I checked.

HTH,

Joseph
