Transcribe from a URL (YouTube, podcasts, direct audio/video links)
What: Add a field where I can paste a YouTube link or a direct audio/video file URL. Superwhisper downloads the media, extracts only the audio, and transcribes it like an imported file.
Why: Right now I have to download the video myself, convert it, and import the file. For interviews, talks and recorded meetings shared as links, that's most of the work. MacWhisper already offers this ("Enter YouTube, Audio or Video File URL"), and it's the one feature I miss after switching (I am Pro on Superwhisper, and love the app speed and accuracy).
Nice to have:
- Also accept a URL in superwhisper transcribe and the "Transcribe File…" menu
- Keep the video's title and link with the transcript
- Keep the original spoken language; never translate automatically
- Run the usual mode and AI processing on the result
