With MacWhisper, the process is:
- Copy YouTube URL.
- Paste into MacWhisper.
- Wait for the video to download.
- Wait for the transcript (~10 seconds for 30 minutes of audio1).
You'll get output like this.
You pay 59 EUR for lifetime use of the software, then transcriptions are free.

Footnotes
Using the Parakeet V3 transcription model on an M4 MacBook Pro with 48GB RAM. It should work fine with any M-series MacBook Pro, but lower-spec machines will be slower. ↩
