A Python CLI tool that downloads YouTube videos with yt-dlp and generates subtitle files (VTT) using OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition models. It supports multiple Whisper model sizes and optional translation of subtitles into English.

Use cases

  • generate subtitles for a youtube video automatically
  • transcribe youtube videos to text
  • create vtt caption files with whisper
  • translate youtube video audio into english subtitles
  • download youtube audio and transcribe it offline

When to choose

  • you need quick, automatic captions for YouTube videos
  • you want a simple pip-installable CLI wrapping Whisper
  • you need subtitle translation to English

When to avoid

  • you need real-time or streaming transcription
  • you want to process local audio/video files rather than YouTube URLs
  • you need a GUI or web interface
