I'm interested in 1-2h long videos of people talking about interesting stuff. But I don't have time to watch them all. It'd be great to have a tool to get accurate transcripts. The YouTube subtitles can be easily downloaded, but aren't readable on their own. They often lack even basic punctuation or sentence structure. It'd be even more great to get good condensed transcripts, or event targeted condensed transcripts of the things I'm interested in in that particular video.

Dare I add that sometimes the subtitles are auto-generated and words shown are wrong.

  Thanks, that's also an issue there.

I think you can get pretty accurate transcripts now with off the shelf tooling. Speaker diarization included.

  Yeah, it seems local Whisper(-like) tools are pretty good now. Can you recommend any in particular for this?

    Deepgram is pretty good if you want speaker diarisation. I think most of the others are comparable.
