Transcribe caption-less YouTube videos with Whisper
Created by
ParseBird
Fetches YouTube captions where they exist and, for videos with no usable caption track, falls back to downloading the audio and transcribing it with OpenAI Whisper inside the Actor (up to 30 minutes per video). Returns the transcript, segments and the method used (captions vs Whisper). Replace `startUrls`.
