Yt-transcriber – Give a YouTube URL and get a transcription
TUI app- Give it a YouTube URL and you get a transcription with possible speaker identification and optional summary or translation, all thanks to open-source AI tooling and my lack of enough free ...
Speaker identification ("diarization"), summarization and translation will probably require an API key for Claude or OpenAI and/or one from Huggingface. NEW: If you have Nix installed or are running on NixOS, just symlink yt-transcriber, summarize and translate to any directory (usually~/bin or XDG_BIN_HOME which is usually~/.local/bin) in your PATH and you're good to go (the last two require OPENAI_API_KEY to be defined in your environment). ( glow is optional; if using the--markdown|-md argument with summarize, this makes things prettier in the terminal if you pipe to it) The Python dependencies will be installed via pip into a venv cached in$XDG_CACHE_HOME/yt-transcriber/.venv and XDG_CACHE_HOME defaults to~/.cache if not set.
