## Usage Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Usage
|
||||
1. **Navigate to YouTube video** - Any video with auto-generated subtitles
|
||||
2. **Tap bookmarklet** - Use your saved "YT2AI Extractor" bookmark
|
||||
3. **Wait for processing** - Usually 5-30 seconds depending on video length
|
||||
4. **Get results** - Claude.ai opens with formatted subtitle content
|
||||
|
||||
### Supported Video Types
|
||||
- ✅ **Standard YouTube videos** (`youtube.com/watch?v=`)
|
||||
- ✅ **YouTube Shorts** (`youtube.com/shorts/`)
|
||||
- ✅ **Embedded videos** (`youtube.com/embed/`)
|
||||
- ❌ **Playlists** (navigate to specific video first)
|
||||
- ❌ **Live streams** (subtitles not available)
|
||||
|
||||
### What Gets Extracted
|
||||
- **Auto-generated English subtitles** (when available)
|
||||
- **Video metadata** (title, duration, video ID)
|
||||
- **Formatted for AI analysis** with structured prompts
|
||||
- **Mobile-optimized output** for easy reading
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
#### "No subtitles found"
|
||||
- **Cause:** Video doesn't have auto-generated English subtitles
|
||||
- **Solution:** Try a different video or check if subtitles exist manually
|
||||
|
||||
#### "CAPTCHA required"
|
||||
- **Cause:** Subtitle API requires verification
|
||||
- **Solution:** Follow the mobile-friendly CAPTCHA guidance popup
|
||||
|
||||
#### "Please navigate to a video"
|
||||
- **Cause:** Not on a valid YouTube video page
|
||||
- **Solution:** Make sure you're on youtube.com/watch?v=... or similar
|
||||
|
||||
#### Bookmarklet doesn't work
|
||||
- **Check installation:** Ensure javascript: prefix is included
|
||||
- **Check browser:** Must be Chrome 90+ on Android
|
||||
- **Check network:** Ensure internet connection is stable
|
||||
|
||||
### Debug Mode
|
||||
Add `?debug=true` to any YouTube URL to enable detailed logging:
|
||||
```
|
||||
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID&debug=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Mobile Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Android Chrome Optimization
|
||||
- **Touch-first interactions** with 44px minimum targets
|
||||
- **Portrait orientation** optimized layouts
|
||||
- **Mobile network timeouts** (30s vs 15s desktop)
|
||||
- **Memory management** for resource-constrained devices
|
||||
- **Gesture-friendly UI** with swipe and tap support
|
||||
|
||||
### Network Handling
|
||||
- **Adaptive timeouts** based on connection quality
|
||||
- **Retry logic** for mobile network instability
|
||||
- **Progress indicators** for longer operations
|
||||
- **Offline graceful degradation**
|
||||
|
||||
### Battery Optimization
|
||||
- **Minimal CPU usage** with efficient JavaScript
|
||||
- **Quick execution** to minimize active processing time
|
||||
- **Automatic cleanup** to free memory resources
|
||||
- **No background processes** or persistent connections
|
||||
|
||||
## Security & Privacy
|
||||
|
||||
### Privacy Principles
|
||||
- **No data collection** - bookmarklet is stateless
|
||||
- **No user tracking** - no analytics or telemetry
|
||||
- **Local processing only** - no data sent to YT2AI servers
|
||||
- **YouTube data only** - accesses only public subtitle data
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Features
|
||||
- **Input validation** for all user data
|
||||
- **XSS protection** through proper escaping
|
||||
- **CSP compliance** with YouTube's security policies
|
||||
- **No external dependencies** in production builds
|
||||
|
||||
### Third-Party Services
|
||||
- **downloadyoutubesubtitles.com** - For subtitle extraction only
|
||||
- **Claude.ai** - User's own subscription for AI analysis
|
||||
- **No tracking services** - Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, etc.
