Microsoft Stream automatically generates a WebVTT file from what was spoken in a video and uses it for a video's transcript and closed captions.
At times you may want to get a copy of a video's transcript without any time codes, metadata, and extra lines. This utility will extract the transcript text from downloaded VTT files generated by Microsoft Stream allowing you to copy and paste the text elsewhere.
