Video Captions is a versatile tool that enhances the accessibility and usability of your video content. This ChatGPT plugin allows users to convert the spoken content of YouTube videos into text, making it easier to follow along, review, or analyze the video content. It's particularly useful for those who prefer reading, are hard of hearing, or are learning a new language. The plugin can transcribe each portion of a video separately, ensuring a comprehensive transcription of the entire video.

How to use:

1. Installation: Users can either search for Video Captions in the ChatGPT plugin store and install it, or simply press the "try it" button at the top right of this page to start a chat with the plugin already activated.
2. Video ID: After activating the plugin, you need to provide the YouTube video ID that you want to transcribe. The video ID is the string of characters in the YouTube video URL after "watch?v=".
3. Segment Selection: If the video is long and you want to transcribe it in parts, specify the segment number. Each segment holds a maximum of 2k words.
4. Timestamp Inclusion: Decide whether you want to include timestamps in the transcription. If you do, set the 'includeTimestamp' parameter to true.
5. Transcription: Once you've set the parameters, the plugin will transcribe the video. You can then read, analyze, or save the transcription as per your needs.

Prompt examples:

• "Transcribe the first segment of the YouTube video with ID 'abc123' and include timestamps."
• "Transcribe the second segment of the YouTube video with ID 'xyz789' without timestamps."

The Video Captions plugin is a powerful tool that can enhance your video viewing experience, making it more accessible and convenient. Whether you're watching educational content, following a tutorial, or enjoying a talk show, this plugin ensures you don't miss a word.
