# Youtube-Whisper
A simple Gradio app that transcribes YouTube videos by extracting audio and using OpenAI’s Whisper model for transcription. Paste a YouTube link and get the video’s audio transcribed into text.

## Installation

### Step 1: Clone the Repository

cd Youtube-Whisper
```

### Step 2: Create and Activate the Conda Environment

To set up the environment using the provided `environment.yml` file:
