The youtube video's cog wheel should give you a list of any transcripts available for that video.

Luis, why do you say it's useless and not functional? what problems did you have? specifics would be helpful.

Patrick , I already gave a few comments, but they were not published. Also, only subtitles are to download, if Youtube has them.
And no downloads of transcripts.

Ootje, there was a problem with the feedback site earlier. it seems to be working now. If a video has subtitles, they can be downloaded in any language that the video owner has supplied for that video. Instead of a closed caption file, it will be downloaded as transcripts.

Col, you probably copied a space before or after the name or serial number. it was tested and it works.

Col,
You have to copy and paste the username and password exactly from the readme file. It is case sensitive. It registered fine for me

thanks. I retested it as well just to be sure. Seems to work fine.

Col, for starters there is no username or password requested or reported as an error by the program!

It is just "Name" or "Registration name" and "Serial Number" I have no idea what you are puting in where but it isn't the right place if you are getting ''Incorrect username or password'' as a response as that is NOT how the register TranscriptSnagger dialog responds to incorrect data being entered!

The readme.txt data input into the Register TranscriptSnagger dialog worked for me first time and second time when I deleted the file in the AppData/Roaming root folder that the program rudely dumps there after registration is accepted.

TK, You're right in a sense. I applaud your exactitude; I've called others on their imprecision in the past so I guess I deserved it.
Okay, 'Name' and 'Serial Number' then. By the third time I didn't pause to get the terminology correct because I was too irritated by it. I copied and pasted the whole information from the readme three times, and was told it was invalid every time.
Maybe if I'd just said 'Failed to register'?

JimC, it most certainly DOES install and register under Vista SP2 without issue or error or alerts that it's supposed to be be run on windows 7 or better...

Check the details you are entering you have either mistyped something or misselected something before copying so what is pasted becomes wrong.

Paul Balaban, did you try one that has a CC track? click the CC button and choose a subtitle track other than auto-generated if there are any available. Songs with words on the screen are not the same as subtitled videos!

Paul Balaban,
I did find this on You-tube, I did not noticed before:

And with these video the GOTD-program works.

Ootje,
Thanks for your reply. That is helpful. I believe those are paid or volunteered translations and they may be naming the translator is in the beginning.

Layer Two,
That video worked for me. I was able to get the only language available for that video, which was English.

Vic, It should install on Win7 - Win10. Make sure you have read/write privileges to your ProgramData directory as well as your AppData\Roaming directory. Sometimes Windows permissions get in the way.

[ Vic ],

Does the demo from the website install?

[ https://www.synchrimedia.com/TranscriptSnagger_Demo_Win.zip ]

If it DOES, then the GODT version may be corrupt.

For me, the GOTD version installed, but then just layed there, and never would load when clicking on it.

Yet the demo from the website installed and ran fine.

Though ... it could not help me find ANY video with subtitles, not even a test from Syncrimedia.

And it and answered so quickly that no subtitles were available to every video link I cut and pasted, that I do not believe that it checked the web at all.

Regardless, it would be appropriate for GOTD to refresh their installation ZIP with a new one that is re-compiled and re-tested and proven to work, both installing, and running.

What say, GOTD, can you get a new a new copy from Syncrimedia for us?

Thanks.
.

Patrick , it installs but won't accept the registration info supplied with the download. Even if it's copied and pasted...and made sure there are no spaces...or nothing hasen left out...many times re-checked.

Rea,
send me an email at support@synchrimedia.com and I will send you a file to try.

Frank D, unfortunately if the owner of the video has not uploaded another language, then TranscriptSnagger cannot return a transcript for it.

Patrick , I understand about "another language," but there are *no* languages shown. Does "no languages are shown" mean that there is "no transcript available"? There is nothing mentioned in the company's literature about this. I have tried many, varied YouTube videos and have gotten the same result.

Frank D,
Right. If no languages appear in the list, then none have been uploaded by the video owner and cannot then be converted to a transcript.

Patrick , thank you.

eb235,
Installed in a Win10Pro x64.

I did several test's and only these worked:
Rabarber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiX9JwkzJ4w
Turks fruit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scB0Dvw3gFo
De lift: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MyOxMJkyk0
And these are no transcripts. The result is a subtitle, translated.

eb235,
To properly test software, one has to use independent data and circumstances that reflect real use, not hand-picked scenarios by the developer.

eb235, this video is available:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo0X2ZdElQ4. I just tried it. Might have been temporarily unavailable on YouTube. Try it again.

You have a typo in the url you used.
After the "v=", it is a lower case L, not an upper case I.

Pat, The link has two small "L"
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qdlxl6xbttu311a/URL.png
So the working URL:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo0X2ZdElQ4

Ootje, good catch. I missed the second one!

Hany,
Did you try this app with YouTube videos?
Basheer

Hany, You're right, it doesn't work, I tried it on a Youtube video that does have a transcript but I still get the same message as you and I tried every combination of check boxes in the program.

Hany, Actually, the error message you are referring to, reads :
"There are no transcripts available for this video. Auto-generated transcripts contain no data and cannot be downloaded."
Therefore, you will need to identify a video that actually has an *_uploaded_* original transcript, not an auto-generated one.
These days, YT has become quite adept at speech to text, and the quality of the auto-generated transcripts is (mostly) quite good.
These does show as having available transcripts, but you need to click on "More" to identify whether a transcript was auto-generated.
If it was, it of course wasn't uploaded, would not contain any original transcript data, as none was uploaded, and hence can't be downloaded.
I think most channel owners these days don't bother with captioning and uploading original transcripts, due to the relatively good auto-generation (unless they want to put in a subtitle other than English).

So the software has limited usefulness, though if you do come across a video which does have an original transcript uploaded, which you need, it will then surely be worthwhile to have it on hand.

I do think they should improve the software though, to also download auto-generated script, since on these transcripts I can copy and paste to a Text/Word file (but it's a pain), so I have to dispute their claim that such a video on YT "contains no data" -- if there were no data, how can I copy and paste that auto-generated transcript ?

Frederic Johnson, "Youtube video that does have a transcript"
if you gave us the URL we can test it.

Hany,

It does not work with auto-generated captions. It has to have a closed caption track uploaded by the owner. Auto-generated captions are so inaccurate, they're not very useful anyway.

Ootje, It was a religious video and some may not want to see it so I left it out :)

Hany, Subtitles being generated are not CC, there is a option on the right under the video with the three dots ("..."), if a transcript is available, you get the option to open it there (Open transcript), if not, nothing can be done top magically create one or download it, if it's not already available. This https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQrqURfx6jI video has CC advertised in the video title and the program does indeed find one, so is the option there to open in the three dots menu.

Frederic Johnson, Pity, I was interested about the link.
But, you're right, sometimes religion('s) causes some different opinions.
And therefore causes some trouble. And that's a pity.
Life and let life
