OK, so you want to capture the information for later reading. Look and see if 
there is a transcript available. I don't think there is an easier way, though I 
suppose creating a custom widget or Safari extension could possibly capture a 
specific segment on a web page. 

I'lll try to ask my animation designers about this, because I believe the 
underlying captions are probably in an XML file that includes timestamps to 
synchronize it with the video. Though that might just be an intermediate layer 
that is on the server and not available to the end user.

  
                Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn
