Peek: Search YouTube videos like a pdf
Peek is a Chrome add-on that allows users to search YouTube videos in a similar way to using the "Ctrl + F" function in a PDF document. It highlights the video timeline where the searched phrase was spoken, providing better context and allowing users to easily skip to the exact part they're interested in.
To use Peek, simply open a YouTube video that has captions available. Enable captions by clicking on the "CC" icon or pressing the "c" key on your keyboard. Then, click the extension icon and start typing your search query. The YouTube timeline will be highlighted with all instances where your search matches. By hovering over the highlighted portion, you can peek at the sentence it was spoken in, giving you a quick preview of the context.
Peek also offers additional features to enhance the search experience. It shows the number of found instances in yellow below the search bar, allowing you to quickly assess the relevance of your search term. The progress bar in the video player is highlighted in a turquoise color at places where the searched phrase has been spoken. Hovering over the highlight provides the context around that phrase, along with the timestamp of where it occurs in the video. This makes it easy to navigate to specific parts of the video without any hassle.
Overall, Peek is a useful tool for anyone who wants to search YouTube videos more efficiently and find the exact information they're looking for. With its intuitive interface and helpful features, it simplifies the process of finding relevant content within videos.
