24 alternatives to Search Bar for YouTube Transcripts
Hi HN! Using Ctrl+F on YouTube Transcripts doesn't have the best UI/UX, so I built a chrome extension to inject a input search box that filters for any queries. YouTube actually has this feature for a few videos (ex: https://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAHbLRjF0vo) for years now. I'm not sure why they haven't rolled it out for all videos. I didn't want to wait. The extension will only inject it's own search box if the video does not already have one on YouTube. I tried styling it to look similar to YouTube's design. Indexing and querying rules follow the…

It also aids in quickly fact-checking statements made in…

Hello HN Over the New Year's break, I created semanticvideosearch.com. This can search any video based on meaning and context. I would love to get your feedback on it. What should I change and what can be improved? The preprocessed videos can be search very quickly, while the youtube video links take some time (yt videos also have a upper duration limit due to compute issues). I intend to add search based on the frames of the video soon. I would love to know your thoughts on the demo and any suggestions for improvements. Thanks! PS: the inspiration to create this was to get the 2 mins of…

Hi everyone! This project started with me manually doing the following process: Step 1: Get the transcript from youtube by clicking "show transcript" inside the description box Step 2: The transcript usually won't have any punctuation and have lots of mistakes, so paste it into ChatGPT to clean it up or summarize it. The idea here is to make this process as seamless as possible. What I ended up with was a Chrome extension [0] that adds a button in the YouTube UI that does all of this. Automating it allowed me to do a lot of cool things that would be hard to do manually: 1. I use the…
