- AlexAffe 6y agooh. my. god. This is about to change... a lot of things. Stop motion by clapping totally has me.
- MiguelHudnandez 6y agoI was surprised to find carykh's video is over a year old now! This has so many applications, I'm surprised it's not already common.
- sneak 6y agohttps://s.sneak.berlin/@sneak/104054875133518950 https://s.sneak.berlin/@sneak/104054875133518950 I want a YT speed setting for “constant WPM” based on their autocaption timestamp metadata.
- aspenmayer 6y agoThat’s an amazingly obvious idea whose time has come. Who do we @ to get this on YouTube already?
- BrandonM 6y agoOvercast does roughly that for podcasts and it works great.
- aspenmayer 6y agoIs there a similar feature in Google Podcasts? I know that they are transcribing them automatically in the same way captions are generated for YouTube videos. I think it mostly blew over but I remember Google caught some flak for that in the same way they did for Google Books v Authors Guild fiasco. This is why we can’t have nice things.
- three_seagrass 6y agoDon't let your dreams be dreams. YouTube data API allows downloading captions, and the iframe API allows setting playback speed. You could build a site that inputs YouTube video URLs + WPM and then outputs the video playing at the desired WPM.
