Reformat Video Indexer transcript so each line contains more text.

dev_local 5

Is there a way I can reformat the transcript that is output by Video Indexer Insights so there is more text on a single line? As given, they're formatted for captions but if the user is just pulling the transcript for quotes or to read through it, it's not the best format to show one line at a time, especially when it sometimes breaks it up and puts one or two words on a single line. Exporting TXT is one option, but it would be nice to view a full transcript in the web URL with fewer line breaks.

@dev_local I think you can use the REST API to retrieve the transcript data in JSON format. You can use this API to retrieve the transcript data and then reformat it as per the customer's requirements.

To retrieve the transcript data using the Video Indexer Insights REST API, you can use the following endpoint:

https://api.videoindexer.ai/{location}/Accounts/{accountId}/Videos/{videoId}/Index[?language][&reTranslate][&includeStreamingUrls][&includedInsights][&excludedInsights][&includeSummarizedInsights][&accessToken]

Replace {location}, {accountId}, and {videoId} with the appropriate values for your account and video. You will also need to provide an access token to authenticate the request. Once you have retrieve the transcript data, you can reformat it to remove line breaks and display more text on a single line.

I hope this helps!!
