YouTube Transcription Generator (VLM Run)
Generate transcriptions from YouTube videos using vlmrun for speech-to-text and optional timestamps. This skill: Downloads the YouTube video (or audio) with yt-dlp. Transcribes the video with vlmrun (Orion visual AI). Saves the transcript to a file (plain text or with timestamps). Refer to vlmrun-cli-skill for vlmrun CLI setup, environment variables, and all vlmrun chat options.
How the assistant should use this skill
Check .env for API key Ensure .env (or .env.local) contains VLMRUN_API_KEY. If missing, instruct the user to set it before running any vlmrun commands. Use vlmrun for transcription only For transcription (and optional timestamps), use the vlmrun CLI with a video file as input (-i <video>). vlmrun accepts video files (e.g. .mp4). For YouTube, the skill first downloads the video with yt-dlp, then passes the file to vlmrun. Workflow User provides a YouTube URL (and optionally output path). Download the video (or audio-only for faster/smaller) with yt-dlp. Run: vlmrun chat "Transcribe this video with timestamps for each section. Output the full transcript in a clear, readable format." -i <downloaded_file> -o <output_dir>. Capture vlmrunโs response and save it as the transcript file (e.g. transcript.txt).
Prerequisites
Python 3.10+ VLMRUN_API_KEY (required for vlmrun) vlmrun CLI (vlmrun[cli]) yt-dlp (for downloading YouTube videos) See vlmrun-cli-skill for detailed vlmrun usage and examples (including video transcription).
Installation & Setup
From the youtube-transcription-generator directory: Windows (PowerShell): cd path\to\youtube-transcription-generator uv venv .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 uv pip install -r requirements.txt macOS/Linux: cd path/to/youtube-transcription-generator uv venv source .venv/bin/activate uv pip install -r requirements.txt Copy .env_template to .env and set VLMRUN_API_KEY.
Option A: Run the script (recommended)
# From youtube-transcription-generator directory, with venv activated python scripts/run_transcription.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID" -o ./output This will: Download the video with yt-dlp into the output directory. Run vlmrun to transcribe the video. Save the transcript as output/transcript.txt (and keep artifacts in output/).
Option B: Manual vlmrun (after downloading the video yourself)
# 1) Download with yt-dlp yt-dlp -f "bv*[ext=mp4]+ba/best[ext=mp4]/best" -o video.mp4 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID" # 2) Transcribe with vlmrun (see vlmrun-cli-skill for options) vlmrun chat "Transcribe this video with timestamps for each section. Output the full transcript in a clear, readable format." -i video.mp4 -o ./output Capture the vlmrun stdout and save it as your transcript, or use --json if you need structured output.
Prompt variants for vlmrun
With timestamps: "Transcribe this video with timestamps for each section. Output the full transcript in a clear, readable format." Plain transcript only: "Transcribe everything said in this video. Output only the spoken text, no timestamps." Structured (e.g. JSON): Use --json and ask for a structured format in the prompt (e.g. list of { "time": "...", "text": "..." }).
Workflow checklist
Confirm vlmrun is installed and VLMRUN_API_KEY is set (see vlmrun-cli-skill). Install dependencies: uv pip install -r requirements.txt (includes vlmrun[cli] and yt-dlp). Run python scripts/run_transcription.py <youtube_url> -o ./output or download + vlmrun manually. Find transcript in the output directory (e.g. output/transcript.txt).
Troubleshooting
vlmrun not found Activate the venv and run: uv pip install "vlmrun[cli]". See vlmrun-cli-skill. Authentication errors Verify VLMRUN_API_KEY in .env or the current shell. yt-dlp fails Update yt-dlp: uv pip install -U yt-dlp. Check the URL is a valid public YouTube video. Large or long videos Use audio-only download in the script (e.g. -f bestaudio) to reduce size and speed up transcription.
