Introduction and Project Setup
Creating podcast show notes is an arduous process. Many podcasters do not have the support of a team or the personal bandwidth required to produce high quality show notes. A few of the necessary ingredients include:
- Accurate transcript with timestamps
- Chapter headings and descriptions
- Succinct episode summaries of varying length (sentence, paragraph, a few paragraphs)
Thankfully, through the magic of AI, many of these can now be generated automatically with a combination of open source tooling and affordable large language models (LLMs). In this project, we’ll be leveraging OpenAI’s open source transcription model, Whisper and their closed source LLM, ChatGPT. To begin, create a new project directory and perform the following steps:
- Initialize a
package.json
and settype
tomodule
for ESM syntax. - Create a
content
directory for audio and transcription files that we’ll generate along the way. - Create a
.gitignore
file fornode_modules
and thewhisper.cpp
GitHub repo.
mkdir autoshow && \ cd autoshow && \ npm init -y && \ npm pkg set type="module" && \ mkdir content utils commands && \ printf "node_modules\n.DS_Store\nwhisper.cpp\ncontent\n.env" > .gitignore
Download and Extract Audio with yt-dlp
-
yt-dlp
is a command-line program for downloading videos from YouTube and other video platforms. It is a fork ofyt-dlc
, which itself is a fork ofyoutube-dl
, with additional features and patches integrated from both. -
FFmpeg is a free and open-source software project consisting of a vast software suite of libraries and programs for handling video, audio, and other multimedia files and streams. It’s used for recording, converting, and streaming audio or video and supports a wide range of formats.
yt-dlp
and ffmpeg
both provide extensive documentation for installing their respective binaries for command line usage (I used brew install yt-dlp ffmpeg
):
In this project, we’re going to build a Node.js CLI that orchestrates executing different commands from yt-dlp
and ffmpeg
along with whisper.cpp
later in the tutorial.
yt-dlp
can process YouTube URL’s to download and extract audio for video transcriptions. The yt-dlp
command will complete the following actions:
- Download a YouTube video specified by its URL.
- Extract and download the video’s audio as a WAV file.
- Perform audio post processing to set the correct sample rate.
- Save in the
content
directory with the filenameoutput.wav
.
yt-dlp -x \ --audio-format wav \ --postprocessor-args "ffmpeg: -ar 16000" \ -o "content/output.wav" \ "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKB0EltG9Jo"
This command includes the following options:
--extract-audio
(-x
) downloads the video from a given URL and extracts its audio.--audio-format
specifies the format the audio should be converted to for Whisper we’ll usewav
for WAV files.--postprocessor-args
has the argument16000
passed to-ar
so the audio sampling rate is set to 16000 Hz (16 kHz) for Whisper.-o
specifies the output template for the downloaded files, in this casecontent/output.wav
which also specifies the directory to place the output file.- The URL,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKB0EltG9Jo
is the YouTube video we’ll extract the audio from. Each YouTube video has a unique identifier contained in its URL (QhXc9rVLVUo
in this example).
Include the --verbose
command if you’re getting weird bugs and don’t know why.
Create and Prepare Transcription for Analysis
whisper.cpp
is a C++ implementation of OpenAI’s whisper
Python project. This provides the useful feature of making it possible to transcribe episodes in minutes instead of days. Run the following commands to clone the repo and build the base
model:
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp && \ bash ./whisper.cpp/models/download-ggml-model.sh base && \ make -C whisper.cpp
Note: This will build the smallest and least capable transcription model. For a more accurate but heavyweight model, replace
base
(150MB) withmedium
(1.5GB) orlarge-v2
(3GB).
If you’re a simple JS developer like me, you may find the whisper.cpp
repo a bit intimidating to navigate. Here’s a breakdown of some of the most important pieces of the project to help you get oriented. Click any of the following to see a dropdown with further explanation:
models/ggml-base.bin
- Custom binary format (
ggml
) used by thewhisper.cpp
library.- Represents a quantized or optimized version of OpenAI’s Whisper model tailored for high-performance inference on various platforms.
- The
ggml
format is designed to be lightweight and efficient, allowing the model to be easily integrated into different applications.
main
- Executable compiled from the
whisper.cpp
repository.- Transcribes or translates audio files using the Whisper model.
- Running this executable with an audio file as input transcribes the audio to text.
samples
- The directory for sample audio files.
- Includes a sample file called
jfk.wav
provided for testing and demonstration purposes. - The
main
executable can use it for showcasing the model’s transcription capabilities.
- Includes a sample file called
whisper.cpp
and whisper.h
- These are the core C++ source and header files of the
whisper.cpp
project.- They implement the high-level API for interacting with the Whisper automatic speech recognition (ASR) model.
- This includes loading the model, preprocessing audio inputs, and performing inference.
It’s possible to run the Whisper model and have the transcript output just to the terminal by running:
./whisper.cpp/main \ -m whisper.cpp/models/ggml-base.bin \ -f content/output.wav
Note:
-m
and-f
are shortened aliases used in place of--model
and--file
.- For other models, replace
ggml-base.bin
withggml-medium.bin
orggml-large-v2.bin
.
This is nice for quick demos or short files. However, what you really want is the transcript saved to a new file.
Run Whisper Transcription Model
Whisper.cpp provides many different output options including txt
, vtt
, srt
, lrc
, csv
, and json
. These cover a wide range of uses and vary from highly structured to mostly unstructured data.
- Any combination of output files can be specified with
--output-filetype
using any of the previous options in place offiletype
. - For example, to output two files, an LRC file and basic text file, include
--output-lrc
and--output-txt
.
For this example, we’ll only output one file in the lrc
format:
./whisper.cpp/main \ -m whisper.cpp/models/ggml-base.bin \ -f content/output.wav \ -of content/transcript \ --output-lrc
-of
is an alias for --output-file
. The command is used to modify the final file name along with the selected file extensions. Since our command includes content/transcript
, there will be a file called transcript.lrc
inside the content
directory.
Create files in all output formats
./whisper.cpp/main \ -m whisper.cpp/models/ggml-base.bin \ -f content/output.wav \ -of content/transcript \ --output-txt --output-vtt \ --output-srt --output-lrc \ --output-csv --output-json
Format Transcript Output for Processing
Despite the various available options for file formats, whisper.cpp
outputs all of them as text files that later can be parsed and transformed. As with many things in programming, numerous approaches could be used to yield similar results.
Based on your personal workflows/experience, you may find it easier to parse and transform a different common data formats like csv
or json
. For my purpose, I’m going to use the lrc
output which looks like this:
[by:whisper.cpp][00:00.00] Okay, well, you know, it can be a great question for this episode.[00:02.24] What is Fullstack Jamstack?[00:04.04] What?[00:05.04] Yeah, exactly.[00:06.04] Yeah.[00:07.04] And who are we?
Using a combination of grep
and awk
, I’ll write a short bash command to take the LRC transcript and modify it to look like this instead:
[00:00] Okay, well, you know, it can be a great question for this episode.[00:02] What is Fullstack Jamstack?[00:04] What?[00:05] Yeah, exactly.[00:06] Yeah.[00:07] And who are we?
To achieve the desired transformations with the given directory structure, we’ll need to:
- Read the
transcript.lrc
file from thecontent
directory. - Remove the
[by:whisper.cpp]
signature. - Format the timestamps to remove milliseconds.
- Write the transformed content to a new file called
transcript.txt
in the same directory as the original file.
grep -v '^\[by:whisper\.cpp\]$' "content/transcript.lrc" | awk '{ gsub(/\.[0-9]+/, "", $1); print }' > "content/transcript.txt"
In the next section we’ll create the prompt to tell ChatGPT or Claude how to write the show notes. This prompt along with all the previous logic to download, transcribe, and transform the output will be combined into a single Bash script.
Show Notes Creation Prompt for LLM
Now that we have a cleaned up transcript, we can use ChatGPT directly to create the show notes. The output will contain six distinct sections which correspond to the full instructions of the prompt. Any of these sections can be removed, changed, or expanded:
- Potential Episode Titles
- One Sentence Summary
- One Paragraph Summary
- Chapters
- Key Takeaways
Create a file called prompt.md
in utils
:
echo > utils/prompt.md
Include the following prompt with the transcript after the final line:
This is a transcript with timestamps. Write 3 potential titles for the video.
Write a one sentence summary of the transcript, a one paragraph summary, and a two paragraph summary. - The one sentence summary shouldn't exceed 180 characters (roughly 30 words). - The one paragraph summary should be approximately 600-1200 characters (roughly 100-200 words).
Create chapters based on the topics discussed throughout. - Include timestamps for when these chapters begin. - Chapters shouldn't be shorter than 1-2 minutes or longer than 5-6 minutes. - Write a one paragraph description for each chapter. - Note the very last timestamp () and make sure the chapters extend to the end of the episode
Lastly, include three key takeaways the listener should get from the episode.
Format the output like so:
```md ## Potential Titles
1. Title I - Title Hard 2. Title II - Title Harder 3. Title II - Title Hard with a Vengeance
## Episode Summary
One sentence summary which doesn't exceed 180 characters (or roughly 30 words).
tl;dr: One paragraph summary which doesn't exceed approximately 600-1200 characters (or roughly 100-200 words)
## Chapters
00:00 - Introduction and Beginning of Episode
The episode starts with a discussion on the importance of creating and sharing projects.
02:56 - Guest Introduction and Background
Introduction of guests followed by host discussing the guests' background and journey.
## Key Takeaways
1. Key takeaway goes here 2. Another key takeaway goes here 3. The final key takeaway goes here
## Transcript ```
## Transcript
The final step is to:
- Copy the content of
prompt.md
. - Append the prompt to the top of
transcript.md
. - Create a new file called
final.md
in thecontent
directory with the combined prompt and transcript.
To achieve this directly from the terminal, use the cat
command:
cat utils/prompt.md content/transcript.txt > content/final.md
This concatenates the content of prompt.md
to transcript.md
and redirects the output to a newly created file called final.md
in the content
directory:
Create Autoshow Node CLI with Commander
For the last part of this tutorial, we’ll integrate all of the logic from the previous steps into one single command. The command will be implemented with Commander.js, an open source library for building command line interfaces with Node.js. Install the commander
NPM package:
npm i commander
The entire example so far will be implemented as a processVideo
function executed by the main autoshow.js
function. The function will call out to utility functions for common operations. These will be abstracted into an index.js
file in utils
for reusability as the project grows. Create these three files:
echo > autoshow.jsecho > utils/index.jsecho > commands/processVideo.js
Create Utility Functions for Common Operations
We’ll start with three utility functions:
processLrcToTxt
concatenateFinalContent
cleanUpFiles
We’ll also create an alias for yt-dlp
called ytAlias
that suppresses unnecessary warnings.
import fs from 'fs'
export const ytAlias = `yt-dlp --no-warnings`
export function processLrcToTxt(id) { const lrcPath = `${id}.lrc` const txtPath = `${id}.txt` const lrcContent = fs.readFileSync(lrcPath, 'utf8') const txtContent = lrcContent.split('\n') .filter(line => !line.startsWith('[by:whisper.cpp]')) .map(line => line.replace(/\[\d{2}:\d{2}\.\d{2}\]/g, match => match.slice(0, -4) + ']')) .join('\n') fs.writeFileSync(txtPath, txtContent) console.log(`Transcript file transformed successfully: ${id}.txt`) return txtContent}
export function concatenateFinalContent(id, txtContent) { return [ fs.readFileSync(`${id}.md`, 'utf8'), fs.readFileSync(`./utils/prompt.md`, 'utf8'), txtContent ].join('\n')}
export function cleanUpFiles(id) { const files = [`${id}.wav`, `${id}.lrc`, `${id}.txt`, `${id}.md`] for (const file of files) { if (fs.existsSync(file)) { fs.unlinkSync(file) } }}
processLrcToTxt
takes an id
as an argument and processes an LRC file associated with that id
, transforming it into a text (TXT) file.
- Define the file paths for the LRC and TXT files based on the provided
id
. - Read the LRC file’s content synchronously using
fs.readFileSync
and return a UTF-8 encoded string. - Process the LRC content.
- Split the content it into an array of lines using
split('\n')
. - Filter out
[by:whisper.cpp]
by removing the line from the array. - Map over the remaining lines and remove decimals by replacing
[mm:ss.xx]
with[mm:ss]
. - Join the processed lines back into a single string with
\n
as the delimiter.
- Split the content it into an array of lines using
- Write the processed content to the TXT file using
fs.writeFileSync
. - Log a success message to the console and return the processed TXT content.
concatenateFinalContent
takes an id
and txtContent
, combining content from three sources into a single string.
- Read the content of
${id}.md
and./utils/prompt.md
usingfs.readFileSync
. - Combine these contents with
txtContent
into a single string, joined by newline characters and return the combined string.
cleanUpFiles
deletes files associated with a given id
.
- Create an array of file paths based on the provided
id
. - Loop through the file paths and use
fs.unlinkSync
to delete the file if it exists.
Add Option to Process Video
The --print
option from yt-dlp
can be used to extract metadata from the video. We’ll use the following in our script:
id
andupload_date
provide a unique name for each video.webpage_url
for the full video URL.uploader
for the channel name.uploader_url
for the channel URL.title
for the video title.thumbnail
for the video thumbnail.
Include the following code in commands/processVideo.js
:
import fs from 'fs'import { execSync } from 'child_process'import { ytAlias, processLrcToTxt, concatenateFinalContent, cleanUpFiles } from '../utils/index.js'
export async function processVideo(url) { try { const videoId = execSync(`${ytAlias} --print id "${url}"`).toString().trim() const uploadDate = execSync(`${ytAlias} --print filename -o "%(upload_date>%Y-%m-%d)s" "${url}"`).toString().trim() const id = `content/${videoId}` const final = `content/${uploadDate}-${videoId}`
const mdContent = [ "---", `showLink: "${execSync(`${ytAlias} --print webpage_url "${url}"`).toString().trim()}"`, `channel: "${execSync(`${ytAlias} --print uploader "${url}"`).toString().trim()}"`, `channelURL: "${execSync(`${ytAlias} --print uploader_url "${url}"`).toString().trim()}"`, `title: "${execSync(`${ytAlias} --print title "${url}"`).toString().trim()}"`, `publishDate: "${uploadDate}"`, `coverImage: "${execSync(`${ytAlias} --print thumbnail "${url}"}`).toString().trim()}"`, "---\n" ].join('\n')
fs.writeFileSync(`${id}.md`, mdContent) console.log(`Markdown file completed successfully: ${id}.md`)
execSync(`${ytAlias} -x --audio-format wav --postprocessor-args "ffmpeg: -ar 16000" -o "${id}.wav" "${url}"`) console.log(`WAV file completed successfully: ${id}.wav`)
let txtContent execSync(`./whisper.cpp/main -m whisper.cpp/models/ggml-base.bin -f "${id}.wav" -of "${id}" --output-lrc`, { stdio: 'ignore' }) console.log(`Transcript file completed successfully: ${id}.lrc`) txtContent = processLrcToTxt(id)
const finalContent = concatenateFinalContent(id, txtContent) fs.writeFileSync(`${final}.md`, finalContent) console.log(`Prompt concatenated to transformed transcript successfully: ${final}.md`)
cleanUpFiles(id) console.log(`Process completed successfully for URL: ${url}`) } catch (error) { console.error(`Error processing video: ${url}`, error) }}
Import processVideo.js
in autoshow.js
and create a new option:
import { Command } from 'commander'import { processVideo } from './commands/processVideo.js'
const program = new Command()
program .name('autoshow') .description('Automated processing of YouTube videos, playlists, and podcast RSS feeds') .option('-v, --video <url>', 'Process a single YouTube video')
program.action(async (options) => {
const handlers = { video: processVideo, }
for (const [key, handler] of Object.entries(handlers)) { if (options[key]) { await handler(options[key]) } }})
program.parse(process.argv)
Run node autoshow.js --video
followed by the URL for the video you want to transcribe:
node autoshow.js --video "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKB0EltG9Jo"
Next, we’ll write two more functions that each run the process_video
function on multiple videos. These videos will be either contained in a playlist (process_playlist
) or written in a urls.md
file (process_urls_file
).
Add Option to Process Playlist of Videos
At this point, the autoshow.js
script is designed to run on individual video URLs. However, if you already have a backlog of content to transcribe, you’ll want to run this script on a series of video URLs. To implement a second option that accepts a playlist URL instead of a video URL, create a file called processPlaylist.js
in the commands
directory:
echo > commands/processPlaylist.js
The processPlaylist
function will fetch video URLs from a playlist, save them to a file, and processes each video URL by calling processVideo
. The --print "url"
and --flat-playlist
options from yt-dlp
can be used to write a list of video URLs to a new file which we’ll call urls.md
.
import { execSync } from 'child_process'import fs from 'fs'import { processVideo } from './processVideo.js'import { ytAlias } from '../utils/index.js'
export async function processPlaylist(playlistUrl) { const episodeUrls = execSync(`${ytAlias} --flat-playlist -s --print "url" "${playlistUrl}"`) const urls = episodeUrls.toString().split('\n').filter(Boolean) fs.writeFileSync(`content/urls.md`, `${episodeUrls}`) for (const url of urls) { await processVideo(url) }}
Here’s how it works:
- Required modules are imported including:
execSync
from thechild_process
module for executing shell commands.fs
for file system operations.processVideo
function defined in the previous step.
- Shell command is executed to get video URLs.
- The
yt-dlp
command is run withexecSync
to retrieve a flat list of video URLs. - The results from the playlist,
episodeUrls
, is a buffer containing the URLs as a string.
- The
- URLs are converted and filtered from a buffer to a string and split into an array of URLs using
split('\n')
.filter(Boolean)
removes any empty strings from the array, leaving only valid URLs.- The list of URLs is saved to a file named
content/urls.md
usingfs.writeFileSync
.
- Video URLs are processed by looping through the array and using
await
on each to call theprocessVideo
function asynchronously.
Import processPlaylist.js
in autoshow.js
and create a new option:
import { Command } from 'commander'import { processVideo } from './commands/processVideo.js'import { processPlaylist } from './commands/processPlaylist.js'
const program = new Command()
program .name('autoshow') .description('Automated processing of YouTube videos, playlists, and podcast RSS feeds') .option('-v, --video <url>', 'Process a single YouTube video') .option('-p, --playlist <playlistUrl>', 'Process all videos in a YouTube playlist')
program.action(async (options) => {
const handlers = { video: processVideo, playlist: processPlaylist, }
for (const [key, handler] of Object.entries(handlers)) { if (options[key]) { await handler(options[key]) } }})
program.parse(process.argv)
Run node autoshow.js --playlist
with the playlist URL passed to --playlist
to run on multiple YouTube videos contained in the playlist.
node autoshow.js --playlist "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCVnrVv4KhXMh4DQBigyvHSRTf2CSj129"
Add Option to Process Custom List of URLs
To process a list of arbitrary URLs, we’ll want to bypass the yt-dlp
command that reads a list of videos from a playlist and pass urls.md
directly to Whisper. Create a file called processUrlsFile.js
in the commands
directory.
echo > commands/processUrlsFile.js
processUrlsFile
will process a list of video URLs. It reads a file containing video URLs, parses the URLs, and processes each URL by calling the processVideo
function. The function checks to see if the file exists so it can log an error message and exit early if the file doesn’t exist.
import fs from 'fs'import { processVideo } from './processVideo.js'
export async function processUrlsFile(filePath) { if (!fs.existsSync(filePath)) { console.error(`File not found: ${filePath}`) return } const urls = fs.readFileSync(filePath, 'utf8').split('\n').filter(Boolean) for (const url of urls) { await processVideo(url) }}
Here’s how it works:
- Import required modules including:
fs
module for file system operations.processVideo
function.
- Check if the file specified by
filePath
exists usingfs.existsSync
.- If the file does not exist, log an error message to the console and return early from the function to prevent further execution.
- If the file exists, read the file content synchronously as a UTF-8 string using
fs.readFileSync
.- Split the file content into an array of URLs using
split('\n')
, splitting at each newline character. filter(Boolean)
removes any empty strings from the array, leaving only valid URLs.
- Split the file content into an array of URLs using
- Loop through each URL in the array and call the
processVideo
function asynchronously usingawait
.
Import processUrlsFile.js
in autoshow.js
and create a new option:
import { Command } from 'commander'import { processVideo } from './commands/processVideo.js'import { processPlaylist } from './commands/processPlaylist.js'import { processUrlsFile } from './commands/processUrlsFile.js'
const program = new Command()
program .name('autoshow') .description('Automated processing of YouTube videos, playlists, and podcast RSS feeds') .option('-v, --video <url>', 'Process a single YouTube video') .option('-p, --playlist <playlistUrl>', 'Process all videos in a YouTube playlist') .option('-u, --urls <filePath>', 'Process YouTube videos from a list of URLs in a file')
program.action(async (options) => {
const handlers = { video: processVideo, playlist: processPlaylist, urls: processUrlsFile, }
for (const [key, handler] of Object.entries(handlers)) { if (options[key]) { await handler(options[key]) } }})
program.parse(process.argv)
Run node autoshow.js --urls
with the path to your urls.md
file passed to --urls
.
node autoshow.js --urls urls.md

## Transcript
This workflow is fine for me because I only create a podcast every week or two, so I can just copy paste the transcript into ChatGPT and copy out the output. However, it’s very possible that you could have dozens or even hundreds of episodes that you want to run this process on.
To achieve this in a short amount of time, you’ll need to use the OpenAI API and drop a bit of coin to do so. In my next blog post, I’ll be showing how to achieve this with OpenAI’s Node.js wrapper library. Once that blog post is complete I’ll update this post and link it at the end.
