Youtube already offers AI transcriptions on their site. As another commenter points out, you grab them with yt-dlp.
And unlike how your tool will be supported in the future, thousands of users make sure yt-dlp keeps working as google keep changing the site (currently 1459 contributors).
- passivegains 1y agothe volunteer open source effort behind youtube-dl and its forks/descendants are so impressive in large part because of how many features they provide and thus have to maintain: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#usage-and-options https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#usage-and-options this tool won't provide the list of available thumbnails or settings for HTTP buffer size, but I think that's a pretty reasonable tradeoff.

- swyx 1y agoif you used this in earnest sufficiently, you'd know yt default transcripts are not good enough because youtube often (ok say 5% of time) fails to transcribe videos particularly livestreams and shortly after release. youtube also blocks transcript exports for some things like https://youtubetranscript.com/ https://youtubetranscript.com/ retranscribing is necessary and important part of the creator toolset.
