Api

from transcribe_anyting.api import transcribe

Install GPU/CUDA Accelerated version

GPU acceleration is much faster than the CPU version. Install it using the following:

> curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zackees/transcribe-anything/main/install_cuda.py | python
# transcribe-anything should now be installed
> transcribe_anything https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

Develop

Works for Ubuntu/MacOS/Win32(in git-bash) This will create a virtual environment

> cd transcribe_anything
> ./install_dev.sh
# Enter the environment:
> source activate.sh

The environment is now active and the next step will only install to the local python. If the terminal is closed then to get back into the environment cd transcribe_anything and execute source activate.sh

Required: Install to current python environment

• pip install transcribe-anything
  • The command transcribe_anything will magically become available.
• transcribe_anything <YOUTUBE_URL>
