Google Meet transcript to subtitles converter

When you record a meeting in google meet, you'll see 2 files in your drive folder: the video file and the transcript file in .sbv format. This is a simple (and messy) script that converts the transcript to a subtitles file in .ass format with some styling.

Usage

node app.js c|convert -i|--input <inputFile> [-o|--output <outputFile>]

Example

  • Input file (transcript.sbv):
00:00:20.906,00:00:23.906
Doge: Le woof has arrived!
  • Command:
node app.js c -i transcript.sbv

A file named transcript.sbv.css will be generated. Load the subtitles in your media player while playing the meeting video (just drag and drop). Result:
