Editing transcripts: Removing extra lines of data from export
Agentjh dhthompson mdlau - I just created a short web utility to clean up the Stream transcript VTT files for when you just want to get the text from the file without the metadata, time codes, and blank lines.
I linked the utility from the bottom of this help doc page: https://aka.ms/StreamVTTCleaner
Give it a try and see if this is useful for you.
The web utility I created is just a quick workaround, ideally this would be built into Stream itself directly. You should add your comments and votes to this idea in our ideas forum: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-stream-ideas/allow-export-of-transcript/idi-p/205468

Marc Mroz I used this excellent utility last week for some research work I am doing. It cleaned up my transcription files brilliantly. I've gone to use it today for my final transcription file and am getting a 404, like others have reported. I'd love to see this utility back as soon as possible.
