Feature request? Only get text?

Question

Hello, I was wondering if it would be possible to have an option to only get the text only?

So instead of the transcript, just all of the captions, without any duration, index etc....

That could also possibly save you some resourced on your end too, and also on our end.

Thanks

Hi Andry,

Thanks for the suggestion. However we don't store Captions on our end. We simply generate them and serve it back.

The captions are generally useful with timing data.

In case you don't want timing data, you can do the cleanup on your end.

Thanks,
Yash
