Community Template Repo

Template repo with docs and GitHub Actions etc, to create other projects.

Quickstart

  1. Create a folder with the date of the video followed by the first part of the title, for example 2021-02-03-Free-GitHub-bootcamp
  2. Create a file in the folder with the name of the language (all lowercase), for example english.txt or french.txt ...
  3. In the file type the text of what was said in your video

Tips on the captions

To get the best results, use these formatting tips:

  • To force the start of a new caption, use a blank line.
  • To designate background sounds, use square brackets. For example, [music] or [laughter].
  • Add >> to identify speakers or change of speaker.
  • Here's an example of what your transcript file might look like:
>> ALICE: Hi, my name is Alice Miller and this is John Brown
>> JOHN: and we're the owners of Miller Bakery.

>> ALICE: Today we'll be teaching you how to make
our famous chocolate chip cookies!

[intro music]

Okay, so we have all the ingredients laid out here

NOTE: For non-English language transcript files, we recommend saving the file with UTF-8 encoding to improve display accuracy

Official YouTube docs for basic transcribing.
