To begin, let's explore the power of AI Whisper for transcription. You can access this fantastic tool for free. Open the link provided in the description below.

Now, click the play button and patiently wait for the reassuring green checkmark to appear. It might take a moment, but trust me, it's worth the wait. And now, click the button to install FFmpeg and wait. Ensure you see the green checkmark before proceeding. Now, on to the exciting part, uploading your audio source. AI Whisper lets you choose between a YouTube video link or your own MP3 file. In this demonstration, I'll show you how to do it with a YouTube video. For option 2, as you can see, you should upload your own audio, following the steps I'm demonstrating. Make sure your audio is named audio.mp3.
