Transcription Note Type

Download and open this to import all the proper settings. You can delete it right after, the card isn’t important.

YouTube to deck scripts

These are the same, but notranslate doesn’t generate translations for the sentences.

notranslatesentenceify.py

sentenceify.py

<aside> 💡

To use the one with translations, you must have an OpenAI API key (in a txt file called api_key.txt in the same folder as the python file).

Also, be sure to change the “translation target language” in the script if you want it to be in a language other than English.

Note: If you’re a better programmer than I am (which isn’t hard lol) and you want to improve my scripts, send me the improved versions to [email protected], and I’ll update the above download links! I really wanted to add a feature where it auto generated subtitles with WhisperX so that you only need an mp3 file. The ideal version would work using just a YouTube URL.

Bonus! How to remove sentence that are too short or too long

I didn’t include this in the tutorial, since I hadn’t done it yet, but I’ve found that sometimes you can get cards that are too long or too short. You don’t really want to be transcribing single words or entire paragraphs. So here’s the process to remove those:

  1. Open the Browse feature and make sure you have the proper deck selected
  2. Paste in one of these search feature (the search should be for the deck and then the length search) Tip: these are just filtering out all the sentences which have a certain character length. If you want to change the numbers, the first number is the lowest search range, the second is for the highest. So the first query shows all sentences that have anywhere from 0 to 15 characters.
    1. Show all short sentences "Example Sentence:re:^.{0,15}$"
    2. Show all long sentences "Example Sentence:re:^.{80,10000}$"
  3. Select all the cards that show up (click then Ctrl + A) and then delete (Ctrl + Del)
