CPU-only transcription for YouTube, TikTok, X, Instagram videos
SMRTR summary
Yapsnap is a lightweight command-line tool that transcribes audio from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, and other video sources into plain text — all on your CPU, with no internet connection required after the first setup. It downloads an 80 MB AI model once, then works fully offline, processing audio faster than real time on a regular laptop. Optional timestamps let users navigate transcripts by sentence, making it useful for research, note-taking, or content review.
