Transcript from YouTube

I'm not sure how I/we ever got along without "how-to" videos from YouTube - how to repair a home appliance, how to make a mask, how to do something on our phones, etc.   Often, I save a particularly helpful YouTube video for possible future reference, but at times I've wished I also had the information to refer back to without watching the video or I've wanted it in a printed format.  I was recently reminded that a transcript is available for almost every video on YouTube (Unless the creator disabled that feature).

How do you access a YouTube transcript that you can then read or even print?

1. Click on the 3 little dots below the YouTube video (and to the right side of the word Share)
2. Select Open Transcript. The transcript will open with the timestamps but the timestamps can be Toggled off by clicking on the 3 vertical dots on the Transcript title bar.
3. If you'd like to print the transcript, you will need to Copy and Paste the transcript into a word processing document to print.  There is not an automatic print command within the transcript box. 
   
   1. To Copy/Paste - select/highlight all the transcript text, right-click to select Copy, open your word processing program, right-click and select Paste.)  Then that document can be printed.

That's all there is to it!  This may be a tip you just want to "file away" for future reference when you need it, and also, hopefully remember it when you want it.  (If you have any tips for being able to remember something for future reference, PLEASE let me hear from you!)  :-)

Have a terrific Tech Tuesday; fall is on its way!
