YouTube Transcribe

Step 0 — GPU + dependency check (always run before transcribing)

If youtube-transcribe/transcript.json doesn't already exist, run this check first:

import importlib, sys

def check(pkg, import_name=None):
    try:
        m = importlib.import_module(import_name or pkg)
        return True, getattr(m, "__version__", "?")
    except ImportError:
        return False, None

whisper_ok, whisper_ver = check("openai-whisper", "whisper")
torch_ok, torch_ver = check("torch")
