YouTube's "Show transcript" tool is great for taking video notes

Incidentally, it's also great for searching for certain words in a video.

Click the three dots under a video and then "Show transcript." Example screenshot from Agile Product Ownership in a Nutshell (15:51) by Henrik Kniberg:

This tool saves time and effort: I don't need to be a human speech-to-text machine; I can instead focus on fixing typos and errors in the transcript and splitting the text into several paragraphs and bullet points to make it easier to read. Two examples:

• Video notes: Agile Product Ownership in a Nutshell
• Legacy code is code written by other people

Side note: I opened an incognito window to take the screenshot, and uhh... YouTube looks so bloated. Protip: block the #related element (the "related videos" container on the right) with uBlock Origin (or use other tools to debloat YouTube).
