TRANSCRIBER TO BITCOIN TRANSCRIPT

This project converts YouTube videos to bitcoinscripts and opens a PR on bitcoinscript repo. It uses youwhisper to transcribe the videos, then collects meta data about the video using requests_html. It then uses the supplied cli arguments and file to open a Pull Request on the bitcoinscript repo.

Steps:

The step-by-step flow for the scripts are:

• transcribe given video and generate the output file

• authenticate the user to GitHub

• fork the transcript repo/use their existing fork, clone it and branch out

• copy the transcript file to the new transcript repo

• commit new file and push

• then open a PR

  or

• add the backend url to a .env file as QUEUE_ENDPOINT

• send the transcript data to the backend queue

Examples

To transcribe this podcast episode from Stephan Livera's podcast with the associated metadata, we would run either of the below commands. The first uses short argument tags, while the second uses long argument tags. The result is the same.

• tstbtc Nq6WxJ0PgJ4 bitcointranscripts/stephan-livera-podcast -t 'OP_Vault - A New Way to HODL?' -d '2023-01-30' -T 'op_vault' -s 'Stephan Livera, James O’Beirn' -c ‘podcast’
• tstbtc Nq6WxJ0PgJ4 bitcointranscripts/stephan-livera-podcast --title 'OP_Vault - A New Way to HODL?' --date '2023-01-30' --tags 'op_vault' --speakers 'Stephan Livera, James O’Beirn' --category ‘podcast’

You can also transcribe a mp3 link, such as the following from Stephan Livera's podcast: https://anchor.fm/s/7d083a4/podcast/play/64348045/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2023-1-1%2Ff7fafb12-9441-7d85-d557-e9e5d18ab788.mp3

For demonstration purposes, let's substitute the link above with the following: websitelink.mp3. In this scenario, we would run the below command.

• tstbtc websitelink.mp3 bitcointranscripts/stephan-livera-podcast --title 'SLP455 Anant Tapadia - Single Sig or Multi Sig?' --date '2023-02-01' --tags 'multisig' --speakers 'Stephan Livera, Anant Tapadia' --category 'podcast'
