  • ytdl-patched

    yt-dlp fork with some more features

  • Couldn't you just use the subtitles from youtube directly?

    https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#subtitle-options

    Or are these worse than whisper?

  • FreeTube

    An Open Source YouTube app for privacy

  • I just use a free desktop client called Freetube instead ( https://freetubeapp.io ). Don't even have to login or create a profile, and there's a ton of UI customization options built in. Voila -- no more Google shenanigans.

  • whisper-ctranslate2

    Whisper command line client compatible with original OpenAI client based on CTranslate2.

  • Much better, actually. Try the large-v3 model, it's great. I use it via whisper-ctranslate2 which is a faster implementation.

  • mpv

    🎥 Command line video player

  • https://mpv.io/ has yt-dlp support, if yt-dlp is installed you just need to throw the URL at it and it plays the video (without download).
