Transcribe Long Videos With AI For Free

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
