2 cheap/free transcribe methods (great for Claude projects!)

These are especially useful for my guidebook producing endeavors.

Part of my process to produce a guidebook is transcribing video and audio trainings from a partner’s course.

Then I feed those docs into Claude ai projects.

With some back and forth prompting, I can turn out chapters that read like they were written by a real person.

These 2 methods won’t identify different speakers like Otter ai does.

So just know that going in. But you won’t need that function for one-speaker vids anyway.

You don’t really need them for multi-speaker vids either…

at least I haven’t noticed a drop-off in Claude output quality using these transcriptions with unidentified multiple speakers.

So anyway thought I’d share.

I have the fantastic

to thank for showing me this first one.

If you have a Slack account, just upload the video file in a slack message and send to yourself.

It automatically transcribes after a few minutes.

Then click view the transcription and copy/paste into a doc or txt file.

The other method is completely free with just a few more steps.

Use a free CapCut account to upload your vid.

Click the transcription button on the sidebar.

Then select the auto-generate captions option.

Once the captions complete, just click into the little caption icon where you can download them into a text file.

Voila! Ready to upload to Claude.

Have another method? Do share.
