VTT video transcript files

Microsoft Stream can automatically generates a WebVTT (text) file from what was spoken in a video and uses it for a video's transcript and closed captions.
You can download this file as the owner of the video. 
As well as the transcript text, a VTT file contains time codes, metadata and confidence levels, which makes getting the text transcript out into word or other editor painful

Fortunately Microsoft have a VTT cleaner here.  You can upload your VTV and it removes the data just keeping what was said in text

Another online tool is here
