A stylized, animated zombie character stands in front of a shadowy, cityscape background. The text reads, "We're coming to GDC." The zombie has green skin and is wearing a suit with a badge.

YOU vs Zombies is making its public debut at #GDC in the Google Cloud lounge 🧟

Describe any hero, watch The Ritual summon them in seconds, then hurl them into the zombie apocalypse

Ahhh, I have used Happy Scribe, or funnily enough, if you can download it as an MP4, and send it to yourself in Slack, it will come up with a transcript option. Bit messy and clunky. Hope others might have a more elegant solution...

Was also looking into this; if you own the video, in setting / manage, under languages / captions you can download transcripts as a txt file, otherwise you'd have to use a 3rd party tool. HTH

The RSPB bird guide books sit in front of a large window overlooking a green meadow. There are also binoculars, a cup of coffee and a packet of biscuits on a tray.

Might have already eaten more biscuits than birds spotted... Though the Ring-Necked Parakeets are putting on a good show today
