About every video on YouTube has a transcript, usually a button at the bottom of the description.

No help. It's video speed.

I can read at several thousand words a minute. So I need the whole transcript in one shot.

Then I can read it in 10 or 15 minutes or so, and decide if it's worth watching a 2 hour plus video. The answer is almost always "no".

Not the closed caption button. In the bottom of the description there is "show transcript" which gives a scrollable transcript.

He’s too busy reading thousands of words a minute to actually understand any of them.

		I was able to go through War and Peace in 20 minutes. It’s about Russia.

Use yt-dlp to download the transcript.

A few lines of Javascript in the console can copy that to the clipboard for you. Maybe someone's packaged that up already. (It's on my todo list to look around...)

		Control Panel for YouTube [1] has an option to add a new "Download" item to the menu in the video Transcript box (which I've just noticed is currently broken, as YouTube must have changed the implementation again recently) Here's a fixed version [2] - run this when the transcript is open and loaded.

I imagine the whisper transcript has less errors.
