Show HN: I built an instant transcription service for any YouTube video (transcrib.ee)

Hey HN!

I built Transcrib.ee to help me generate transcripts for lectures on YouTube with no captions, especially multilingual lectures. I was constantly frustrated with videos that had no transcripts or inaccurate ones, so I built a tool and decided to share it with everyone.

This tool uses Groq (an AI inference engine that's different from Grok and offers very fast processing) and OpenAI's Whisper model (really accurate in multilingual) to quickly transcribe any YouTube video, regardless of the language. It's been a game-changer for my studies!

To make it even faster, I created a Chrome extension that lets you get transcripts using a keyboard shortcut or directly from the YouTube video player by clicking the Transcrib.ee button. I hope it helps you too! Try it out and let me know what you think: https://www.transcrib.ee/

Chrome Extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/transcribee-transcr...

I'm here for questions and feedback! Thanks!




This is great! (If you don't mind me asking) How did you get around getting blocked by YouTube, and what are you using for Speech to text? I built a similar site (https://transcriberai.com), but we couldn't get around YT blocking our download requests, so we only accept file uploads.


Just using pytube and pytubefix for getting the videos from YT. And as broland said - groq and whisper for transcription.


Website says Speech to text is done by Groq and Whisper.
