This repository tracks the transcription and translation for the video conference by Stéphane Laborde Pourquoi la monnaie libre n'est justement pas un Ponzi. This translates to Why Free Currency Isn't Just a Ponzi (Scheme).
The original video and the auto-generated captions in French can be sourced from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRq2197FlMw.
Setup
Run the following to download auto-generated captions from YouTube to a new file named autogen-subs.fr.vtt.
yt-dlp --write-auto-subs --sub-lang=fr --skip-download https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRq2197FlMw -o autogen-subs
Other video players such as mpv might not display YouTube's auto-generated captions properly. The following removes duplicates and resyncs captions.
python scripts/parse-subs.py autogen-subs.fr.vtt
Notes
The Makefile contains some reference for using yt-dlp and ffmpeg but does not function without downloading the entire video and renaming some files.
Context
Stéphane Laborde is the author of The Relative Theory of Money, an economic theory inspired by the free software movement which defines "monnaie libre" as the category of currencies that respects the economic agency and time of its users.
