    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!

drusome I've been cleaning my VTTs via Excel. I documented how to do that in a video here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t274fWR1mIo

    Unfortunately this link that I've been using in recent years is now gone as well.

      I found the Excel process a bit too complicated for me and I have no clue how to use a PowerShell script. I tried MS Copilot and it was able to help me clean up the transcript. But I had to use a .txt copy of the .vtt file because the attachment option wouldn't let me select the .vtt file.
