Is there something I'm missing? The only thing I get when I click on the "give me the transcript" button is a dialog box asking me to save or open a json file. Is there something I'm missing?

But a "poor man's" YouTube API would be wicked awesome (note the local dialect!) - it would solve some accessibility issues we're struggling with here in Massachusetts.

Y almost does X but not quite". He said no video sites appear to make the comments available in the source for SEO, Screenreaders and other such things. Nico may have the comments in the source but you have to login so it's certainly not search engine friendly! (Viddler do actually seem to write time coded comments out below the video though) @"a brain is required"
