v2s-process

This repository hosts a set of scripts designed to automate the process of downloading a YouTube video, extracting its audio, transcribing the audio, and summarizing the transcribed text. It's perfect for quickly generating summaries of long video content. This is basically a fork of http://github.com/actuallyrizzn/process. I'm simplifying the "original" of process so that it can be more widely used, and keeping this as a repo of the video and pdf specific variant.

Scripts and Their Functions

The main workflow is controlled by a bash script process.sh, which in turn calls several Python scripts and a bash script to complete specific tasks:

1. process

This is the master script that coordinates the entire process. It takes a YouTube video URL as input and outputs a summarized text of the video content.

Usage: ./process

2. ytget.py

This Python script downloads a YouTube video. It uses the pytube library to do this.

3. v2a.sh

This bash script uses ffmpeg to convert the downloaded video file to an audio file. If the audio file is larger than 25MB, it is split into smaller chunks using ffmpeg.

4. transcribe.py

This Python script uses the OpenAI API's Audio.transcribe method to transcribe the audio file. It assumes that you have an OpenAI API key stored in a file named openai.api.

5. chnk.py

This Python script chunks large text files into smaller pieces. This is useful when the transcribed text is too large to be sent to an API in one go.

6. summarize.py

This Python script uses the OpenAI API's Completion.create method to generate a summary of the transcribed text. It assumes that you have an OpenAI API key stored in a file named openai.api.

Installation
