Getting transcripts into epub format.
|
|
|
|
[Download a transcript](https://www.youtube-transcript.io/),
|
|
place it in this directory, run `./convert_transcript.lua FILE`,
|
|
fill in author and link as requested, and you will have a usable
|
|
epub.
|
|
- If that website fails to select the correct language, you can
|
|
use https://tubetranscript.com/ and pass `--tube` as a 2nd
|
|
argument to use that output instead, but the quality will be
|
|
worse.
|
|
|
|
(I also use thumbnails as the "cover" by grabbing them [here](https://www.get-youtube-thumbnail.com/).)
|
|
|
|
**The file name will be set as the title.**
|
|
|
|
This is heavily WIP.
|
|
|
|
This will probably fail with videos longer than an hour because
|
|
the export will be different enough to fuck up the margin fix.
|
|
|
|
I am really frustrated because pandoc doesn't support plain text.
|
|
I went through many tests and iterations before coming to even
|
|
this minimal start and it was extremely frustrating.
|
|
|
|
## Tasks
|
|
- [x] I need an option / 2nd script to output a version with no
|
|
timecode formatting for easier text extraction.
|
|
- I made it actually just combine both in the same document,
|
|
easier to manage that way.
