Hi everyone,

I’m trying to figure out whether it is possible to access or download the caption/subtitle files from videos on ICI Radio-Canada, specifically from this page:

https://ici.radio-canada.ca/info/listes/28-23005/vu-sur-ici-rdi

My goal is personal language learning, not redistribution. I’m studying French and would like to use the captions to improve my listening comprehension.

The issue is that the captions on the site seem slightly delayed compared with the speaker, so I often miss parts of what is being said. I was hoping to access the subtitle file directly, for example if there is a VTT/SRT file or another caption source used by the video player.

I have watched a few YouTube tutorials about downloading subtitles/captions, including this one:

However, those methods do not seem to work on the Radio-Canada website.

Has anyone worked with ICI Radio-Canada video captions before, or does anyone know how to check whether the player exposes a caption…
