Extract transcripts from YouTube Shorts
Worldwide
I need a freelancer to extract the transcript from each short on the YouTube channel Motiversity Shorts.
https://www.youtube.com/@MotiversityShorts/shorts
Instructions/workflow:
- Visit the channel and locate the list of all shorts.
- For each short, open the link (e.g., …/shorts/XXXXX).
- To access the transcript: change the URL from /shorts/XXXXX to /video/XXXXX so it opens as a regular YouTube video.
- Scroll down to the video description area and click the “Show transcript” button.
- Copy the full transcript and clean it up: remove all timestamps and any non-spoken cues such as “[Music]”, “[Applause]”, “[Laughs]” etc.
- Save each item in a structured format (for example in a spreadsheet or Google Sheet) with columns: Video Link | Title | Clean Transcript.
Requirements:
- Accuracy: The spoken words should match the transcript as shown.
- Clean formatting: No timestamps, no bracketed non-speech cues.
- Good organization: Each item clearly labelled.
- Ability to handle potentially hundreds of shorts (or as many as are currently available). AVOID REPUBLISHED VIDEOS.
- Timely delivery and communication.
Preferred format:
Please deliver a Google Sheet with one row per short, and the three fields filled in. or Google Doc
Deadline & budget:
- I am looking for the cheapest offer, but still do the job.
- The deliverables for each item are:
- - The direct link to the short.
- - The title of the short.
- - A clean transcript of the video (no timestamps, no bracketed cues like “[Music]”, “[Claps]”, etc.).
