Use when the user provides a Bilibili video URL (BVxxxxx) and wants to: (1) Extract the complete audio content as text with high accuracy, (2) Get a detailed summary of the video content, (3) Save the transcript as a formatted TXT file instead of posting long text to Discord. Automatically detects CC subtitles if available, otherwise uses Whisper medium model with GPU acceleration. Output saves to 'Bilibili transcript' folder by default, includes video metadata, summary section, and full transcript in Simplified Chinese." ---

Workflow

Step 1: Run Transcription Script

Priority order:

1. CC Subtitles (manual) - Fastest, highest accuracy
2. AI Subtitles (auto-generated) - Fast, good accuracy, multi-language
3. Whisper Transcription - Slowest, ~95% accuracy, works for all videos

Step 2: Generate Detailed Summary

After the script completes, read the generated TXT file and:

1. Read the full transcript (第二部分)
2. Generate a comprehensive summary (第一部分)
3. Save the updated file

Step 3: Present to User

In Discord, post:

• Brief summary in message
• Attach the TXT file for full content

Setup WSL Chromium Login

For best results with AI subtitles:

1. Start WSL Chromium:

```bash chromium-browser & ```

1. Navigate to bilibili.com

1. Log in with your Bilibili account

1. Run the transcription script

The script will automatically use Chromium's cookies to access member-only AI subtitles.

Subtitle Priority

The script tries subtitles in this order:

1. Manual CC subtitles (zh-CN, zh-TW, en, ja, etc.)

3. Whisper voice transcription (fallback)

This ensures fastest processing while maintaining high accuracy.
