Download a single video by URL (Instagram reel/post, or any yt-dlp-supported link) and transcribe its spoken audio to text with faster-whisper — or transcribe a local media file. Writes plain text, an SRT subtitle file, and a JSON with per-segment timecodes. Uses yt-dlp for download and faster-whisper (default `small`, CPU/int8) for transcription. Use when the user wants the spoken text / transcript / subtitles of an Instagram reel or other video, wants to turn a reel's audio into a script, or…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Video Transcribe Download one video by URL and extract its spoken audio as text, or transcribe a local media file. One script does both: `scripts/transcribe.py`. Output (in the chosen folder): `<basename>.txt` (full text), `<basename>.srt` (subtitles), `<basename>.json` (language, duration, model, and per-segment timecodes). ## Inputs | Parameter | Required | Example | |---|---|---| | Video URL **or** local file path | yes | `https://www.instagram.com/reels/DZScDIDNTi7/` | | `--output-dir` | no | `reference-reels/DZScDIDNTi7` | | `--language` | no | `es` (default: auto-detect) | | `--model` | no | `small` (default), `medium`, `large-v3`, `tiny` | ## Prerequisites `yt-dlp`, `ffmpeg`, and `faster-whisper` must be available (all present on this machine). If needed: `pip3 install -r requirements.txt` and `brew install ffmpeg`. ## Workflow checklist ``` - [ ] Step 1: Confirm the content is public (URL) or the file exists (local) - [ ] Step 2: Run transcribe.py (downloads if URL, then transcribes) - [ ] Step 3: Report the text + output file paths ``` ## Step 1: Source check For a URL, open it to confirm it is **public** (no login wall / not private).

How to install
mdr add puntorigen/avatar-skills/video-transcribe@sha256:0674a0c22106c4c4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260709.ec45941, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
