Give us one YouTube link. Get the ideas first, then choose what deserves your time.
One link. One decision.
Paste a public YouTube video in English or Russian. We will prepare a short preview from its captions or spoken audio.
Save complete original YouTube captions with timestamps on the Watch Less server. Keep this page open until saving is confirmed; this request is not queued. Afterwards your laptop can be off. Repeated saves replace the same video and language. Downloads are private to this browser session; clearing cookies removes access.
Captions unavailable? Upload an original YouTube caption file
Use the video link above and select the file’s language. The caption file stays in your browser and is saved locally, without a server archive. Only upload original YouTube captions for that video. Choose H:\My Drive\Watch Less\Youtube summaries in the folder picker. Chrome and Edge support folder saving; other browsers download the file.
