I hope I won’t be faulted for not “reading” the OP, but it’s a 17 minute video. I watched a little, but I don’t understand the thesis.
It does seem ironic though that on a video about the ad-based internet dying, there are several ads in the page, the video maker in the first segment has a lengthy ad where he praises whatever he is advertising, probably VPN stuff, there is a bunch of begging for paid subscribers in the summary, and comments in the comment section from third party ad spammers directing people to what appears to be MLMs.
- RajT88 3y agoI look forward to a future where these videos can get auto-transcribed (accurately) so I don't have to watch the damn video.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 3y agoI have been incredibly impressed with whisper.cpp. A bit of legwork to transcribe a youtube video, but the results are very accurate.
- crubier 3y agoDo you have an end to end tool that integrates whisper to translate Youtube videos? Share! (Or make us pay for it lol)
- kelvinjps10 3y agoThe language learning extensions do that. Like language reactor
- jeroenhd 3y agoYouTube has pretty decent transcriptions with timestamps, especially for channels that bother implementing actual subtitles. They're hidden by default and not searchable on every platform, but they're excellent for skipping to the important parts. Independent websites need to get working on something similar. Whisper is pretty good but extremely CPU intensive, but there are lower cost implementations with acceptable transcriptions out there. I usually watch the introduction and then skip to the 66% mark, those seem to be the places the actual interesting information is stored on YouTube and its competitors.
- liminalsunset 3y agoYouTube can be used with youtubetranscript.com (free) which will turn a video into a clickable transcript that takes you to the corresponding section of the video when clicked to see the corresponding visuals. It uses the Google auto transcription so not sure about whether the accuracy will be acceptable for you.
- ravenstine 3y agoAt the very least, the ad was for a Linux security thing I've never heard of, as opposed to another motherloving Nord VPN ad.
- classified 3y agoAll of that is the purely humanitarian impulse to save the ad-based internet from dying.
