New since last year: M3U8 streams and YouTube
If you've ever used an m3u8 downloader just to get a lecture or a webinar onto your Mac so you could transcribe it, 2.0 skips that step. Paste the page link into Scriber and it finds the m3u8 (the HLS stream behind many web video players), pulls the audio and transcribes it on your Mac. No more wrestling with Chrome extensions or dev tools just to get a video down.
In plain English: videos that only play in the browser, like online course lectures, webinar replays or an autoplaying clip on a news site, can now be grabbed and transcribed on the spot. The video above shows the original flow (drop in a file, hit Transcribe); the two new buttons are below.
