Read Any YouTube Video – New YouTube Transcriber
- podneo 6y agoThis is a new project I've been working on. I watch a lot of YouTube videos and I often don't have time go through entire interviews. So I made this Django websites that grabs a YouTube's video automatic captions and compiles it into a readable format so anyone can read any video. Then I built the chrome extension that adds a little "transcribe-me" button to every video. Think this has potential?
- tea_drinker 6y agoVery interesting. Guess it would be cool if you could download it as a pdf if you could tell who was talking and read it for later. Or read on an ebook. Deffo with long Joe Rogan podcasts. How do I follow you to see what else you work on?
- podneo 6y agoThanks! Yea I want to add pdf, txt, srt download files. And I also use this for Joe Rogan! You can follow me on Indiehackers, I'm posting updates there: https://www.indiehackers.com/Sparky https://www.indiehackers.com/Sparky Or twitter @blastlogos I'm also working on some ios and android apps right now but this was a side project I've been developing to justify my YouTube consumption habits!
- tea_drinker 6y agoHaha, sounds good. Cheers!
- forgingahead 6y agoThis is great - nice work! I also find that I would rather read than watch a video or listen to a podcast, I can read much faster than watch/listen. Clever use of the video captions as well. How are you handling formatting and the punctuation? Nice loading messages by the way.
- podneo 6y agoThanks, I'm using some custom Regex and a python package called punctuator. It's not 100% perfect but it works better then you'd imagine.
