Function

The YoutubeTranscriber node retrieves and transcribes audio from specified YouTube videos. When is_advanced is enabled, the node processes the audio locally to enhance transcription quality. In basic mode, it uses YouTube’s auto-generated captions where available.

​
When to Use It?

The YoutubeTranscriber node is useful for:

  • Extracting text from spoken content in YouTube videos
  • Converting video content into text for analysis or summarization
  • Integrating transcriptions into text-based workflows

Enabling is_advanced can improve transcription accuracy but may increase processing time. Use it for videos requiring precise transcription.
