Ask HN: How do you turn videos into searchable text without uploading them?

1•flounderXM•44m ago

I save a lot of podcasts, conference talks from YT. I want to transcribe them to grep some keywords. My assumption has been that the only realistic options are to a cloud service or running Whisper on a decent GPU, which I don't have. What's your setup? Can I get away with CPU?

I have some Google Collab notebooks where I download/upload the videos, load whisper there and use the cloud GPUs to process them!

Here is an example: https://github.com/apresmoi/jianglens/blob/main/ops/notebook...
