I built a free & open source video transcriber using OpenAI's whisper API.
It works for own files or Youtube videos.
Try it out here:
videoscriber.vercel.app
Built with Tailwind + Next13 + Vercel
Project inspired by @nutlope & @mckaywrigley :D
This is BYOK (bring your own keys) so its not truly free, as you'll have to use an OpenAI API key.
But its cheaper than basically any online transcriber available.
Whisper: $0.006/min
Others: $30mo/minimum with limits.
I could make truly free (no keys) by running my own infra on @modal_labs. But it would take a little more effort to get up and running.
So for now, I'm happy with this weekend side project.
Also the UI components are @shadcn and his awesome next template. 10x'd my dev speed lol
This is my first open source project so feel free to suggest improvements! Also there might be a few bugs
