Using Transcripts / Subtitles / Captions

If you study Spanish and like to use transcripts you might want to look up RTVE. RTVE (Spanish state TV) has transcripts for their programs. For example here is a link to a chapter of Cuentame como paso. Cuéntame cómo pasó - Temporada 8 - Capítulo 13 | Ver serie gratis

On the right side there is the full transcript. I move the curser so that it points at the transcript and press ctrl + a so that it copies the whole transcript. Then I paste it in a word document. On both ends of the pasted transcript there are images and some other text. I then get rid of the useless text and images so that I am left with the complete transcript and import it to lingq. On episode between 1.10 to 1.35 tends to mean about 7000 to 8000 words.
