			How to Convert Audio/Video Files to Text for FREE (Transcription Tutorial)
Learn how to convert audio or video files to text for FREE with this step-by-step tutorial. I'll teach you how to use Whisper AI with your Google account to transcribe all of your audio or video files into transcripts or text files and even subtitles. Just follow the steps as outlined in this video.
Step 1: Install Google Colab on your Google Drive account
Step 2: Set up Google Colab and Start a New Notebook
Step 3: Install Whisper AI and FFmpeg
Code:
!pip install git+https://github.com/openai/whisper.git
!sudo apt update && sudo apt install ffmpeg
Step 4: Upload your audio or video files (rename them to something simple on your computer before doing this such as "audio1.mp3" or "video1.mp4")
Wait until the file finishes uploading completely before proceeding.
Step 5: Run Whisper with this code:
!whisper "YOUR FILE NAME" --model medium
(Replace "YOUR FILE NAME" with your file name and extension.)
Example:
!whisper "audio1.mp3" --model medium
Once Whisper finishes running, you can download the text or subtitle file with timestamps.
