YouTube Video Transcription and Summarization

This Python script downloads a YouTube video, transcribes its audio content, and generates a summary of the transcription using language modeling techniques.

How it Works

  1. Downloading the YouTube Video: The script utilizes the yt_dlp library to download a video from a specified YouTube URL.
  2. Transcription: The whisper library is used to transcribe the audio content of the downloaded video. The resulting transcription is saved to a text file.
  3. Language Modeling and Summarization: The script employs the LangChain library, specifically the OpenAI model, for language modeling. It then splits the transcription text into smaller chunks using a text splitter. After that, it creates documents and loads a summarization chain to generate a summary of the transcription.
  4. Generating a README File: The script outputs the summary in wrapped form to fit within a specified width. This summary can be used to generate a README file, providing a concise overview of the transcription content.

Usage

  1. Requirements: Ensure you have the necessary libraries installed, including yt_dlp, whisper, and LangChain. You can install them using pip.
  2. Specify YouTube URL: Set the url variable in the script to the desired YouTube video URL.
  3. Run the Script: Execute the script, and it will download the video, transcribe its audio content, and generate a summary of the transcription.
  4. View the Summary: The summary will be outputted in wrapped form. You can use this to create a README file or for any other purpose you require.

Example

For example, if you set the url variable to "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBjPyte2ZZo", the script will download the specified video, transcribe its audio content, and generate a summary of the transcription.

Note

  • Ensure you have the necessary permissions to download and transcribe the content of the YouTube video.
  • This script utilizes language modeling techniques, which may require an internet connection and access to cloud-based APIs.
  • Adjust the parameters and options according to your specific requirements and preferences.
