Reproduced here:
>If a talk doesn't provide a link to slides but shows them on the screen, I watch it muted at 16x with "Video Speed Controller". 50 minutes become ~3 minutes and it's easier to decide if the talk is worth the time and/or has high information density in the topic of interest.
>If there are no slides linked nor shown, I use "Youtube Captions Search" to search for expressions of interest in the video, and go straight to where they're mentioned. If I like the treatment of the subject, I make a note to invest in that video and watch it.
There are many articles when you search for "google key moments algorithm" which relay a "recent Google announcement" without a source, or a link.
However, here's a link to a thread:

>[November 23 2020] Testing automatic video chapters: We want to make it easier for people to navigate videos with video chapters, so we are experimenting with automatically adding video chapters (so creators don't have to manually add timestamps). We’ll use machine learning to recognize text in order to auto generate video chapters. We’re testing this out with a small group of videos. If your videos are impacted, you can opt out of this experiment and/or share feedback here. More on video chapters here.
So, searching for their own lingo "automatic video chapters" would yield more interesting results. Actually searching for "site:https://research.google/ https://research.google/ automatic video chapters" returns interesting papers
"Automatic Generation of Two-Level Hierarchical Tutorials
from Instructional Makeup Videos", https://storage.googleapis.com/pub-tools-public-publication-data/pdf/d6635d0826cf29c217653bc4976d5c234713b249.pdf https://storage.googleapis.com/pub-tools-public-publication-...

- walterbell 5y agoWhoa, that's like speed-reading for video. This may be the most practically useful post I've seen on HN in several years. Thank you for the pointers, hopefully this thread will receive more attention.
- Jugurtha 5y agoHere's another tip: https://youglish.com https://youglish.com is a website where you enter a word, and it returns YouTube videos at the precise time that word is pronounced. Its goal is for people to "improve" their English. I use it as a "Google for YouTube" returning videos that YouTube search functionality would probably never return. For example, here's a search on Kubernetes on Youglish: https://youglish.com/pronounce/kubernetes/english https://youglish.com/pronounce/kubernetes/english? Here's the search on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=kubernetes https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=kubernetes Want to get fresh videos that mentioned Theranos? https://youglish.com/pronounce/Theranos/english https://youglish.com/pronounce/Theranos/english? I get access to extremely good content that would never have been recommended to me where the matter is actually discussed, escaping filter bubbles, and tacky/popular content pushed atop because the channel has a large audience, and quickly change language. https://youglish.com/pronounce/Uber/french https://youglish.com/pronounce/Uber/french?
- ElectricMind 5y ago//https://youglish.com// https://youglish.com// Thanks for this one. It is gem. Bookmarked. What else you got like this?) If you don't mind sharing as you seem someone with good taste :D
- Jugurtha 5y agoI can't think of something else right now, sorry.
- yesenadam 5y agoThat's awesome, thanks! It works in about a dozen languages besides English too. I searched a first name in Spanish and the first video it found was so uplifting I watched the whole thing. What a great site. (Also now I know how to say Kubernetes)
