The Challenge

The client was transcribing YouTube videos by hand. Raw auto-generated captions were messy, with broken sentences and timing fragments, and could not be used directly.

The Solution

  • Extracted captions from YouTube videos automatically
  • Cleaned and merged caption fragments into readable text with NLP techniques
  • Transformed the output into a consistent, production-ready JSON schema
  • Automated the full flow from video link to final file

The Results

  • 100% of manual transcription eliminated
  • Consistent JSON output ready for downstream systems
  • A repeatable pipeline for any number of videos
