service idea: gemini yt caption scraper. input a URL or select link from query search and get back full text captions for video in gemtext. would this be useful or pointless?

there's YouTubetranscripts.com but the big issue is lack of punctuation and often incorrect subtitles. you can use an llm to add punctuation but the incorrect transcription is a bit of a problem. Having said that it would be quite fun to have a YouTube demake in gemini.

yes, that would be amazing.

as a continuation, it would be great to have an account, like in invidious, add subscriptions, then see the chronological list of subscriptions, and be able to choose one, and get the screen captions.
