I need to extract descriptions of some 80 YouTube videos and I’m looking for an or web service for that purpose

I’m looking for transcription of the audio, just easy access and automatic extraction of the descriptions, preferably in bulk, of the 80 YouTube videos

Any recommendations?

ClipGrab is excellent at one at a time. You can also choose the quality of download.

Many services and apps specifically won’t handle YouTube, I assume due to Cease and Desist letters.

yt-dlp is “a feature-rich command-line audio/video downloader”:

You can choose to download just audio which you can then transcribe using other tools.

PS: If you’re not the owner of those videos, you might want to check the legality of what you’re planning to do?
