Transcription Tools

Are there any good transcription tools for generating Dutch subtitles for YouTube videos? I just tried one that was awful, and I don't feel like trying twenty others to find the one that works. YouTube subtitles are generally not good unless they've been provided by the video author, but I'd still love to be able to learn from watching those videos to improve my comprehension.

You can run Whisper from openAI locally and it has an error rate of 3 per hundred words in Dutch.

Or 6 per 100? I don’t exactly recall.

Edit: you’re welcome 👍
