Google docsDocs copy paste formatting / indent question

So say I am taking a youtubeYouTube transcript, and copying the whole thing, and then pasting it into a document. The way the transcript is set up with youtube itsYouTube it's layered like every 5 seconds so its lines of like 4-10 words.

So on youtube itsYouTube, it's like:

Hi hello hi hello hi hello

Hi hello hi hello hi hello

Hi hello hi hello hi hello

Hi hello hi hello hi hello

Hi hello hi hello hi hello

Hi hello hi hello hi hello

Hi hello hi hello hi hello

Hi hello hi hello hi hello

... and so on

Now when I copy everything and do "paste without formatting" it removes that extra blank lines between everything and pastes it. Still lined but more condensed and nothing in between.

But I want more than that. I dont want lines of text at all, I want it to be one large paragraph together. So the above text would read:

Hi hello hi hello hi hello Hi hello hi hello hi hello Hi hello hi hello hi hello Hi hello hi hello hi hello...

Hi hello hi hello hi hello Hi hello hi hello hi hello Hi hello hi hello hi hello Hi hello hi hello hi hello...

Is there anyway I could do this easily or any solution at all without going in manually and backspacing hundreds of times turning a 20 page lined document into a 3 page filled out doc..?
