Ask HN: Anyone set up ways to easily obtain and read transcripts from Ted, YT?

1•MollyRealized•52m ago
I really absorb text a great deal better than listening to audio or watching video. I've heard others say the same and attribute to ADHD, so perhaps that's the case for me.

TED very often has a transcript on their page, but it involves some clicking and then some copy-pasting, and the text result is often broken mid-clause after about 10-15 characters.

I'm wondering if there's any useful userscripts, userstyles, or other methods that handle this. (I think TED often sues people who try to make transcripts easily available on a separate site. I may be mistaken, and TED, please don't sue me, it's just a general feeling.)

The same request would apply to YouTube and/or other popular video sites, but I run into this issue most often with TED.

My thanks in advance to anyone who can help me on this!
