2. I don't mind copying and pasting transcripts when provided under the video or answering brief

questions. However, I am not a "natural" writer who enjoys writing and I will usually procrastinate when I do have to put on my writer's cap. I'm also not a great listener and I put away the transcription machine 30+ years ago when the attorney who managed the project I worked on as a state employee left the job. Relying upon my skills as a listener and transcriptionist does not do adequate justice to the people who are providing the video content--it's equivalent to using the Cliff Notes to a major piece of literature.

I would copy and paste the transcripts using the method that I described in the OP, but there are timestamps every few seconds so the cut-and-paste jobs would be extremely long and they are really not suitable to fit with the format of DU.
