YouTube Transcript --> .srt

Convert YouTube transcriptions to .srt files

1. Copy the transcripts from YouTube and save in a .txt file in the same directory as the yt2srt.py script.

Sample input file:

transcript.txt

00:00
"Who Shouldn't Consume Curcumin or Turmeric"
00:07
Following flax and wheatgrass,
00:09

botanical dietary supplement,

2. Execute the yt2srt.py script. It will collect all .txt files in the same directory and try to convert to .srt:

python3 yt2srt.py

3. An output file with the same name and .srt is created.

Sample output file:

transcript.srt

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
"Who Shouldn't Consume Curcumin or Turmeric"

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,000
