What is this?

It's an easier way to add captions to your videos. First, download the auto-generated captions file as a ".sbv" file from Youtube. Then use sbv2txt as shown in the video to convert the captions file to a plain text transcript. Edit the transcription to correct errors and add capitals/punctuation. Then re-upload the transcript file and make Youtube sync up the timing automatically.
