Q: YouTube video transcripts question
I was wondering about the youTube transcription.
As you may know, some YouTube creators are forgoing YouTube transcription to protect their content from being scraped or repurposed. This trend is growing as we find that YouTube videos are often not usable on platforms like NotebookLM
Does your application transcribe the videos natively, or is your application reliant on a YouTube transcript made available by the creator and YouTube?
I'm assuming you are performing the transcription as there is a credit charge for each video, but I just wanted to check.
Thank You
