Lecture transcripts: MIT OpenCourseWare, Yale and more
The WithTranscript library has lecture courses from Predictive History, MIT OpenCourseWare and Yale, each with a full transcript beside the video. You can read along, click any line to jump to that moment, browse chapters, and copy the whole transcript as Markdown for your notes or an AI assistant. Transcribed lectures open without an account. Most of the MIT courses are still being transcribed, and this page says which ones.
Predictive History (Professor Jiang Xueqin)
The most complete collection in the library: 40 of 178 lectures transcribed across 10 numbered series, about 44 hours of transcript. Game Theory is the furthest along, with 21 of its 29 lectures, including the mid-term examination.
Predictive History transcripts, course by course lists what's done in each series. You can also browse the Predictive History channel page.

A lecture that is not in the library
Paste its YouTube link in the box above. If someone has already transcribed it, it opens with the transcript. If not, a free account lets you request one, built from the video's YouTube captions; it works for any lecture that has captions, including ones on your own course's channel.
