YouTube Script Downloader Button. Adds a button that passes the current URL to youtubetranscript.com for the transcript for the audio. Requires a page-reload for the button to appear.

Why would this be needed? Sometimes you have YouTube's UI so customised, that the official transcript button is gone. Also, youtubetranscript.com is nicer, more features etc.

This also helps to save time on content-light or click-baity videos. What is it really about? Is it really a video with meaty content? Answer these questions with a quick glance at the transcript. This of course assumes you're not a slow reader!

Hacked from thisismy-github's 'Sleek YouTube Downloader' UserScript, so may conflict with that or anything else that places its button in the same place (see picture).

Working for me on the Opera (Chrome) Web browser.

Coders: Also serves as a commented demo of how to have a UserScript remove the /watch string from the YouTube URL, and pass it over to a service which doesn't require the /watch string.
