How much are you paying for audio/video transcription? With just a few tools and open source Ai I created a simple app so I can drag'n'drop any audio or video file and immediately spit out the text transcription & subtitle track... for free, self-hosted.

I imagine an actual transcriber could transcribe way faster just editing. I know a transcriber too.. can you do the same thing with forms that are filled out in hand writiting ?

Watched the entire thing on 2x. It’s not hyperbole to say this is one of the most useful YouTube videos I’ve watched all year. Awesome work and thanks for sharing.
go to and paste the youtube link. download the text file which will have a gazillion white spaces. Go to --- --- copy paste, remove space and copy again. opne new google doc and paste it. increase in line spaces to 1.5 and voila !

Thanks. Got give this a try! Wish me some luck with windows though :)
The introduction of Ai (specifically LLMs) as the tool to interact with and enable continuous "talk" among various pieces of software is a game changer. This is literally the very beginning, we've not even reached the surface yet, much less scratched it. View quoted note →
