I often want to see what people say on a youtube video. (and I'm in a hurry)
Since most new youtube video have the subtitles enabled, I wrote a little script to show those captions in GNU 'less'.

Youtube's automatic captions, or automatic subtitles are auto-generated for most youtube videos. the so-named script takes a youtube url then calls youtube-dl to convert them to text format in GNU less. it also requires you have html2text installed.
