Hey HN, I've been working on this side project for the past month. It generates a step-by-step tutorial guide for YouTube videos that you can follow along without watching long videos. Best suited for tutorial videos but can work for other videos aswell. No BS. Just straight to the point. The guides are generated from pure transcript so you don't have to worry about it being AI. It's my first project as a total beginner. Something I had to do inorder to get out of tutorial hell. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or if you face any problems or bugs. I would try to fix them to the…

Descript costs $24/mo, so I built this over a single weekend with Fable! Introducing Rescript: edit videos by simply editing the transcript text. Drop in a video and it is transcribed locally with per-word timestamps and speaker labels. Delete words in the transcript and the corresponding clip is cut from the video. Runs fully in the browser: Local, free, offline and open source. → Github https://github.com/wassgha/rescript → App https://wassgha.github.io/rescript

After hearing several youtubers I follow describe ardiuous manual processes for downloading youtube transcripts, I made a simple app to help anyone download transcripts in bulk. Drag and drop a text file with one url per line, or enter urls manually. hf space demo --> https://huggingface.co/spaces/neonwatty/youtube_shorts_trans... github repo --> https://github.com/neonwatty/youtube_shorts_transcript_downl...

Hey HN! I built Transcrib.ee to help me generate transcripts for lectures on YouTube with no captions, especially multilingual lectures. I was constantly frustrated with videos that had no transcripts or inaccurate ones, so I built a tool and decided to share it with everyone. This tool uses Groq (an AI inference engine that's different from Grok and offers very fast processing) and OpenAI's Whisper model (really accurate in multilingual) to quickly transcribe any YouTube video, regardless of the language. It's been a game-changer for my studies! To make it even faster, I created a Chrome…

Hi HN, this is a tool I built for fun two years ago, which I now decided to release as open source. It's a Java program that takes a Wikipedia page as input creates a video narrating the content of the page using a combination of sources for images and videos, plus Amazon Polly for speech synthesis. At the time, I wrote a detailed explanation[1] of how the tool works, if you're interested. The project is not active or currently maintained - I'm just releasing it because a few people requested it to me, and so I thought I might as well post it here! EDIT: Forgot to specify: although, in…

Hey HN, ExpoReader is a viewer for YouTube videos that shows the transcript of the video, and generates a shareable URL for a completely readable version of a video. I built it because I wanted helpful tutorials without having to watch an entire video. In a later version, I was thinking it could be cool to show other screenshots from the video throughout the transcript, but there’s really no easy way to do that outside of downloading the video and taking clips from there. If anyone has any good suggestions, I’m all ears!

I originally added this to my site to speed up my video editing process. Last year I started a youtube channel and for some of my longer videos it's annoying to rely on youtube or capcut to transcribe when Whisper is open source. Capcut also recently updated their T&Cs to say they own your content if you use their app, so I cancelled my subscription. Another use-case I have is recording my claude prompts as audio, transcribing them, and then pasting them into my terminal. I mostly work on the CLI (claude, ffmpeg, whisper), but I wanted to make a browser version. Not reinventing the wheel…
