## What it is
A Perl CLI script that converts a YouTube video into a static webpage pairing a transcript generated from closed captions with timestamped screenshots. It relies on yt-dlp and ffmpeg to download and process the video.

## Use cases
- turn youtube videos into readable transcripts
- convert a video lecture to text with screenshots
- read youtube content instead of watching it
- generate a webpage from video captions
- extract transcript and frames from a youtube video

## When to choose
- you learn better from text than video
- you want a self-contained static page from a single youtube video
- you need captions paired with visual frames

## When to avoid
- you need bulk or batch processing of many videos
- you need editable or searchable transcript formats beyond HTML
- you cannot install yt-dlp and ffmpeg
