Video Transcript
so you have a 3our long video to transcribe and that video might even be 20 gab in size if you know what I mean in this video I'll show you how to do all of these things done using artificial intelligence extremely fast and for free and here is my favorite part you can do transcription directly from Google Drive meaning that you not need to download those super massive files and reupload them anywhere you can do them from anywhere so if your Internet sucks like mine you're good to go let's do it to generate our transcript we're going to be using assembly Ai and they will give you 100 hours of material to transcribe for free and it's incredibly accurate let me show you how to do this we're going to go to assembly a.com link down below click on get started and off the bat you see all of the scary code which you will not need to know how to use click on no code playground where you can just drag and drop your file and get your transcript click on up your file today I'll be transcribing a 3-hour long episode with Elon Musk 1169 if you know what I mean let's go the file size is too large okay I've just gotten the audio only version which I'm going to upload let's go and before you hit that transcribe button assembly AI comes with a couple additional features that might be handy for example the summary of the conversation automated chapter titles topic detection moderation if you say words like by the way this playground feature from assembly AI is meant for testing so it's a little bit of a workaround if you were to use any other AI transcription service you know how much this would cost you how about 25 cents per minute so I've just saved you $15,000 you're welcome now I travel a lot and internet is most of the time so good luck working with those 10 20 50 GB files but what if you could get through transcripts without having to download and reupload files anywhere well you can to make this happen we're going to be using a Google collab Playbook so you will see some code but it might as well be Chinese because you don't really need to understand it you just need to click one button it's how easy we made it link to it is down below in the description completely for free once again check it out to get started we'll need to do only three things we'll need to connect our Google Drive then we need to add the API key from assembly Ai and then we'll need to point at the file that we want to get transcribed let's go ahead and do this first we're going to get that API key let's go to assembly Ai slapp and here we have our magical API key and let's paste it here next up I'm going to connect Google Drive by clicking this play button and there we go we can access any file that's in our Google Drive I'm going to go to drive share drives find the file that I want to transcribe this is going to be this Jo Rogan episode that's 900 megabytes in size copy path and paste it over here there we go all we need to do from now is click on runtime and run all it is done the script has finished running and in case you're curious this 3-hour long conversation took 11 minutes to get processed now when you go to the original folder where your file to be transcribed is located you'll find all of these beautiful files most importantly your transcript over here but of course I love you so much I've added some bonuses for example you get your subtitles automatically generated how amazing is that now you have uh something that I call sentences let me open this with Google Drive so you will have each sentence and the speaker who said that sentence in a nice spreadsheet over here and this file alone is super handy for post- production it saves Us hours what else do we have in this gift buset well chapter titles you know how painful it is to create chapter titles well here we have all of the chapter titles automatically created I already told you about the setup section next up we have this naming function over here that will allow us to create all of the files with the same file name as our original file over there to speed up processing and this is huge I'm very proud of it we're going to turn a massive video into an audio file so instead of sending a 10 GB file for example to assembly AI we're just going to send them a tiny MP3 file over here that was automatically generated and it's 53 megab long it's going to speed things up tremendously and it runs automatically in the background you can also set custom spelling it's very useful for brand names for example open AI will be two words instead of one or GPT 4 will be GPT 4 written out instead of GPT 4 this was transcription settings we haven't started transcribing yet this cell over here starts the transcription process it took 11 minutes and then we save all of this information in the following functions for example we save the transcript we save the subtitles we save the chapter titles in this beautiful format boom just like that I save you a few hours of your precious life and if this doesn't deserve a like under this video I do not know it does if you want to take your video production to the next level check out what we do at represent link is down below in the description and till next time
