CCVideo — caption Mandarin trading videos in English
Many of the best price-action lessons — like the 方方土PriceAction series — are in Mandarin. CCVideo turns any Mandarin-spoken YouTube video into English captions (and an optional English voice-over), so you can learn from them in your own language.
Why it runs on your computer
Speech-to-text needs a lot of CPU/RAM (and ideally a GPU). Running that on a shared web server would be slow and expensive — so CCVideo runs locally on your machine instead. The download is tiny because the heavy components install themselves automatically the first time you run it. Your videos and captions never leave your computer.
What it does
📝 English captions
Transcribes Mandarin speech and translates it — exports .srt / .vtt, plus a bilingual file.
✏️ Edit & export
A built-in editor to proofread the script, fix timings, and export — or import your own edits.
🔊 English voice-over
Optionally turn the edited script into spoken English with an ElevenLabs voice.
⏱ Test mode
Caption just the first few minutes (1–15 min) for a quick preview, with a live progress bar.
How to run it
- Click Download CCVideo above and unzip the folder (e.g. to your Desktop).
- Double-click
Start-CCVideo.cmd. - The first run sets itself up automatically (downloads components once — needs internet, a few minutes).
- Your browser opens at
http://127.0.0.1:5050. Paste a YouTube URL, pick options, and generate.
Requirements
- Windows 10/11.
- Python 3.9+ — if you don't have it, the launcher offers to install it (or get it from python.org and tick “Add to PATH”).
- ~5 GB free disk for the speech model (downloaded once) and components.
- An NVIDIA GPU makes the most accurate model fast; a normal CPU also works (slower).
- An ElevenLabs API key only for the optional voice-over.
