Browser console script to extract complete Zoom cloud recording transcript

zoom-transcript-extractor-with-instructions.js

/*
 * Zoom Cloud Recording Transcript Extractor
 * 
 * HOW TO USE:
 * 1. Go to your Zoom cloud recording page
 * 2. Click on "Audio Transcript" tab to view the transcript
 * 3. Open browser developer tools (F12 or right-click -> Inspect)
 * 4. Go to the "Console" tab
 * 5. Paste this entire script and press Enter
 * 6. The script will automatically scroll through the entire transcript
 * 7. Wait for it to complete (you'll see "=== COMPLETE TRANSCRIPT ===" when done)
 * 
 * IMPORTANT: If the transcript is very long, the console output may be truncated.
 * Look for a "Show more" button at the bottom of the console output and click it
 * to see the complete transcript text.
 * 
 * The script works by:
 * - Finding the scrollable transcript container
 * - Automatically scrolling through the virtualized list
 * - Collecting all transcript segments as they become visible
 * - Outputting the complete transcript when finished
