Why Streamers Transcribe Their VODs
Search four hours of stream for the line chat reacted to, then jump to its timestamp to cut the clip.
Past broadcasts are deleted after 7, 14 or 60 days. A transcript keeps what was said when the video is gone.
Export SRT when you re-upload a stream or highlight to YouTube, so the video has accurate captions.
