I think you mean the machine-generated one on Youtube? It took me a few minutes of searching from your slightly scant description.

Is there any way to extract just that text into a document I can read?

Copy paste and regex if you want to remove the timestamps or get an llm to structure it into paragraphs.
when you open the transcript view, and start selecting from the bottom of the box (where it says "English (auto-generated)") upward to the start of the text you end up with the whole transcript selected.
None that I can find. Maybe we need to beg the presenter.
I asked him on Twitter. The answer was a simple "sorry, no."

Video talks are like LLM bot content, for me:

If it wasn't worth writing down, it's not worth my time to watch it.

Maybe it's all about ad-revenue.
I agree.

And that for me makes me not want to watch.

If someone has a message they want to communicate, then it's worth writing down.

If they don't, and primarily just want the views, then it's not worth my time.

If I was the presenter and reading those comments I would just not make any text post available just out of spite. Jesus people are entitled.
