Updated script available at https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/?p=6854<\/a> — and, since copy\/paste doesn’t seem to work for everyone, the script is also available as a text file<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I had posted a one-liner to grab the text content of the Microsoft Stream transcript — there’s a good bit of cleanup required to make something professional looking, but I’ve been lazy about it & leave formatting up to the recipient. The one-liner approach fails when it doesn’t encounter a text element where it expects to find one. A more robust export approach creates a Node List containing all of the transcript-line classed elements, then iterates through that list and when the node has a textContent attribute<\/em> appends that content to a running string value. Printing the running string value produces output that needs minimal reformatting.<\/p>\n

Code:<\/p>\n

var objTranscriptLines = window.document.querySelectorAll('.transcript-line');\r\nvar strRunningText = null;\r\nfor(var i = 0; i < objTranscriptLines.length; i++){\r\n    if( objTranscriptLines[i].textContent ){\r\n        var strLineText = objTranscriptLines[i].textContent;\r\n        strRunningText = strRunningText + \"\\n\" + strLineText.replace(\"Discard   Save\",\"\");\r\n    }\r\n}\r\nconsole.log(strRunningText);<\/pre>\n
Results:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
You *could* strip off the timestamps as well — instead of strLineText.replace(“Discard Save”,””) <\/strong><\/em>use (strLineText.replace(“Discard \u00a0\u00a0 Save”,””)).substr(8)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
