Could YouTube to Blog Post Generator use non-YouTube transcripts?

Feature Request

The YouTube Video to Blog Post Generator has a field for “YouTube Video URL / Transcript” — which made me think maybe I could link to ANY transcript.

I tried it but I can’t!

Would it be possible to get this tool to use any transcript, e.g. if I give it a web page that includes a video transcript, it would find the start of the transcript and use that?

If not, maybe “Transcript” could be removed from the field’s label to make it clearer that it has to be a YouTube video URL, not just any transcript?

Thanks!

    @ali@aliventures.com try pasting in just the copy/paste text of the transcript in that field up top (I know that doesn’t look/feel intuitive currently)… we should probably rephrase the instructions there around pasting in the text of the transcript and not a link to a page w/ transcript on it. THANK YOU! please let us know if that works too

      Ahhh that works perfectly! I didn’t realise the box would hold that much text 😂
