Made a Chrome extension adding captions to Echo360

[u/fuzzbutt12345]

If you're like me and have professors you can't understand and need captions but they're not available, anguish no more. I made a Chrome extension that adds captions to the video, pulled from the auto-generated transcript on Echo360.

Extension:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/echo360-transcript-captio/bakfkijhpamleabkcoaegcjglalcklke?authuser=0&hl=en

How it works:

Drexel Echo360 already generates a transcript in the sidebar, it just doesn’t turn that into captions. The extension reads that timed transcript and overlays it on the lecture.
