Sorry for the click-bait, you were probably like: "Even I can do that! There are several free services on the internet", but the question is, can they fix format the captions into a readable format, fix punctuation errors and spit out a readable content?
You may have spent over an hour transcribing the raw captions on your own to make a single blog post, but who is complaining? It's free.
Guess what? I have created an easy to use a script made in PHP that can -
Requirements:
Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/iy4fpsm495yr518/main.zip/file
Virus scan: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file...81f3e45a6dd251d7716c51edf1a17dd8eb3/detection
Instructions:
1. Extract the zip to a folder of your choice.
2. Open up main.php & you'll see this line:
The first parameter is the video's ID and the second one is the video's language. How can you find the video ID? It's pretty simple:
Once you are done replacing both of them, open command prompt and execute the command: "php main.php" (without quotes of-course) & then it will output done when the script completes transcribing. After that, you'll see a html file called "para.html", open it in your browser and BOOM the content will be there.
Please note that this will only work on videos that support captions!
Screenshot:
Easy right? Run the content through Grammarly and make manual changes, you then have a free content that can be used for your money site.
Can I make money off this?
Of course, you can:

Guess what? I have created an easy to use a script made in PHP that can -
- Fix punctuation.
- Split the captions into paragraphs.
- As long as the video supports caption, you can get captions in any language!
Requirements:
- PHP installation
- Code editor (optional)
- Knowledge on how to run PHP through command prompt (Search on YT)

Of course, you can:
- Sell a service on Fiverr & its alternatives
- Sell content off YouTube videos based on certain keywords
- Create your own site that can fetch captions and format it using this script (some knowledge is required) & you can even put up ads on your site.
