Transcribe Video to Text with Python and Watson in 15 Minutes

Tired of taking lecture notes?

Bored of writing down meeting minutes?

Well, you can amp up your productivity a whole heap by transcribing recorded videos using Speech to Text.

“But videos aren’t speech?”

Using Python you can easily convert ANY video to text using the Watson STT service and FFMPEG by first extracting the video…it takes seconds. In this video you’ll learn how to do exactly that plus how to download YouTube videos so you can transcribe them for your own study or knowledge base in under 20 minutes.

In this video you’ll learn how to:
1. Preprocess Video to Audio
2. Convert Video to Text using Watson STT
3. Outputting results from Watson STT to .txt files

You'll also learn how to download YouTube videos using Youtube-DL!
