HOW TO extract subtitles from a YouTube video

[Update - 2022]  YouTube now automatically generates a transcript & timestamp that can be toggled Subtitles within videos help non-native speakers clearly understand & follow what's going on while the video is playing. If you wish to take notes from a YouTube video, you will find this tip for extracting the subtitles from a YouTube video (that has subtitles) to be a time-saver. I have adapted this tip from an answer to a related question on the Quora website - Open the video page in Chrome browser (or any other browser that provides HTTP debugging/Developer Tools) and pause the video Right click anywhere on the page, and click on Inspect Element OR hit the F12 function key. Click on Network tab Under the Network tab look for an item called timedtext.  Right click on it and open that file in a new tab. An xml file containing subtitles with their timestamps(the stuff inside of <>) opens up. To get rid of the timestamps and just have the plain transcript...

HOW TO add a header or footer to a dynamically generated Word document

Image
There was a question recently on my CodeProject article "Dynamically generate a MS Word document using HTML & CSS" . The article describes how to generate a Word document programmatically without using any components, by exploiting the formatting features exposed through Office XML and CSS. The questioner wanted to know how to add a custom header and footer and show something like Page X of Y (total pages). Based on what I have tried so far, showing a header and footer using Office XML in MS Word is not as easy as it is in Excel . If you want to keep the code simple & don't need any great fireworks i.e. you will just settle for page numbers in the header or footer then it's a matter of adding a few lines to the original source code. The code can be viewed at this Github Gist Update (1-Sep-2010): To add a custom header & footer, check this new post To add a footer that shows Page number at the bottom right, here are the steps - 1) Add these classes...
