Defuddle now returns Youtube transcripts!

Paste a YouTube link into defuddle·md to get a markdown transcript with timestamps, chapters, and pretty good diarization

...or if you just want to read it, try the new Reader mode in #Obsidian Web Clipper powered by Defuddle

@kepano Does it use AI?
Show threadkepanoMar 12

@alcojor_comic Defuddle doesn't use AI, no. The code is open source so you can look at how it works here: https://github.com/kepano/defuddle

That said, the transcripts come from YouTube and I think they use AI to generate them?

At the end of the video I show how to use Web Clipper's Interpreter to generate a summary of the transcript, but that's optional.

Thanks for the info!

Since it uses YouTube's own transcriptions, I guess it works for any language?

qutebrowser - shortcut for Defuddle

Configuration:

1) Open the file at the following path:

~/.config/qutebrowser/config.py

2) Enter the configuration below:

## Command to generate Markdown from web pages or YouTube transcripts

config.bind('ac', 'hint links spawn --detach qutebrowser https://defuddle.md/{hint-url}')
config.bind('aC', 'spawn --detach qutebrowser https://defuddle.md/{url}')

Explanation of the commands: “ac” captures text from a page without opening it, by accessing its hyperlink; “aC” (with the second letter capitalized) captures the text from a page that is already open.

Demo:

@kepano i tried the same source in the demo, and others, but i don't get the same result with the transcript and all. Is there something i'm not getting right?

@freenandes try with Obsidian Web Clipper, it should work since it runs locally instead of via a server (which can be blocked)

@kepano thanks. That worked in chrome w/ the plugin. Not available in firefox as it's not yet up to date, as pointed out in another reply
