Great point. There needs to be a text version of videos so people like me who can't watch videos / listen to audio while at work (or even at home, a lot of the time) can read the content.

You Tube has a half-decent 'closed caption' feature that tries to dynamically convert video (actually, the audio) to text, but it's pretty crappy and you still have to read it in 'real time'. We need a tool that takes a video, and produces a half-decent rendition of the content into readable text that we can read at our own pace.

What I don't understand is, why don't the people who produce these videos spend their time composing a 'document' (text) instead? Does no one want to read any more?
