We use smol-podcaster to take care of most of Latent Space transcription work. What it will do for you:
- Generate a clean, diarized transcript of the podcast with speaker labels and timestamps
- Generate a list of chapters with timestamps for the episode
- Give you title ideas based on previous ones (modify the prompt to give examples of your own, it comes with Latent Space ones)
- Give you ideas for tweets to announce the podcast
To run:
python smol-podcaster.py AUDIO_FILE_URL GUEST_NAME
The URL needs to be a direct download link, it can't be a GDrive. For files <100MB you can use tmpfiles.org, otherwise Dropbox. For example:
python smol-podcaster.py "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/XXXX" "Tianqi"
To get the Dropbox direct download just switch https://www.dropbox.com to https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com in the link. Our studio uses Dropbox for file sharing, which is why it's built this way.
