In my case, I wanted to start with the (auto-generated) YouTube transcript and get clickable timestamps. This makes it much faster to search through the content of a video: I can read/search much faster than watching a video, even on 2X speed.
I could also add my own notes to the transcript.
If you add support for loading transcripts like this, it could work cross-browser without the microphone/speech-to-text.
