Automatically create something like this from YouTube videos:

I have tooling for this, but it's pretty clunky and manual right now.

I'd like to make something that:

  • Can take a YouTube URL as input
  • Transcribes the video and does speaker diarization to identify changes in speakers
    • Bonus if it can store voice signatures so we don't have to manually identify recurring characters every video like the mayor and city council members
  • Redact people's home addresses from the transcript
    • During public speak, people have to state their address, but it's not useful to highlight that information
  • Auto-correct common AI errors that are Easthampton specific
    • e.g., always rewrite "East Hampton" to "Easthampton"
  • Integrate a manual corrections file that layers corrections on top of the auto-correct
  • Integrate manual identification of different speakers by name

Also nice if you can do full-text search across transcripts to find all mentions of a topic like "flock" or "license plate readers."
