drusome naomiii ericlott KWildman Thx to everyone in this thread for participating till now!

I could access the cached version of the VTTCleaner and view the html source. I extracted the code and I have written a PowerShell script to clean a VTT file. It is in my GitHub repo now. See: https://github.com/tomka75/Tools/tree/master/MicrosoftStream/VTTCleaner

Call:
.\Clean-MicrosoftStreamVttFile.ps1 -File MicrosoftStreamVideoTranscriptDemo.vtt

Result is a clean text output in file MicrosoftStreamVideoTranscriptDemo.vttcleaned.

I hope this can help someone!

Hi Tomislav Karafilov. Just wanted to say a BIG high 5 for your share of the VTTCleaner code (and an equally big thanks to @Marc Mroz. for the original). This has saved HOURS of work. I'm a happy person this evening 🙂
