-// Feed to GPT, LLM, or ML model
-```
-
-### 2. Accessibility Tools
-
-```typescript
-// Generate subtitles in multiple formats
-const transcript = await api.fetch('video_id');
-const srt = new SRTFormatter().formatTranscript(transcript);
-const webvtt = new WebVTTFormatter().formatTranscript(transcript);
-```
-
-### 3. Content Analysis
-
-```typescript
-// Analyze video content programmatically
-const transcript = await api.fetch('video_id');
-for (const snippet of transcript) {
-  if (snippet.text.includes('keyword')) {
-    console.log(`Found at ${snippet.start}s: ${snippet.text}`);
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Translation Services
-
-```typescript
-// Translate videos to multiple languages
-const list = await api.list('video_id');
-const transcript = list.findTranscript(['en']);
-const german = await transcript.translate('de').fetch();
-const spanish = await transcript.translate('es').fetch();
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Rate Limiting / IP Blocks
-
-If you're getting blocked by YouTube:
-
-```typescript
-import { YouTubeTranscriptApi, WebshareProxyConfig } from 'extract-youtube';
-
-const api = new YouTubeTranscriptApi({
-  proxyConfig: new WebshareProxyConfig({
-    proxyUsername: 'your-username',
-    proxyPassword: 'your-password',
-    // Rotate through 30M+ residential IPs
-  })
-});
-```
-
-### No Transcript Found
-
-```typescript
-try {
-  const transcript = await api.fetch('video_id', {
-    languages: ['en', 'de', 'es'] // Fallback languages
-  });
-} catch (error) {
-  if (error instanceof NoTranscriptFound) {
-    // Handle case where no transcript exists
-    console.log('Available:', error.availableTranscripts);
-  }
-}
-```

+## Common Use Cases
+
+### 1. AI/ML Applications
+
+```typescript
+// Extract transcripts for training data, analysis, or AI processing
+const transcript = await api.fetch('video_id');
+const text = transcript.snippets.map(s => s.text).join(' ');
+// Feed to GPT, LLM, or ML model
+```
+
+### 2. Accessibility Tools
+
+```typescript
+// Generate subtitles in multiple formats
+const transcript = await api.fetch('video_id');
+const srt = new SRTFormatter().formatTranscript(transcript);
+const webvtt = new WebVTTFormatter().formatTranscript(transcript);
+```
+
+### 3. Content Analysis
+
+```typescript
+// Analyze video content programmatically
+const transcript = await api.fetch('video_id');
+for (const snippet of transcript) {
+  if (snippet.text.includes('keyword')) {
+    console.log(`Found at ${snippet.start}s: ${snippet.text}`);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Translation Services
+
+```typescript
+// Translate videos to multiple languages
+const list = await api.list('video_id');
+const transcript = list.findTranscript(['en']);
+const german = await transcript.translate('de').fetch();
+const spanish = await transcript.translate('es').fetch();
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Rate Limiting / IP Blocks
+
+If you're getting blocked by YouTube:
+
+```typescript
+import { YouTubeTranscriptApi, WebshareProxyConfig } from 'extract-youtube';
+
+const api = new YouTubeTranscriptApi({
+  proxyConfig: new WebshareProxyConfig({
+    proxyUsername: 'your-username',
+    proxyPassword: 'your-password',
+    // Rotate through 30M+ residential IPs
+  })
+});
+```
+
+### No Transcript Found
+
+```typescript
+try {
+  const transcript = await api.fetch('video_id', {
+    languages: ['en', 'de', 'es'] // Fallback languages
+  });
+} catch (error) {
+  if (error instanceof NoTranscriptFound) {
+    // Handle case where no transcript exists
+    console.log('Available:', error.availableTranscripts);
+  }
+}
+```
