▲ ▼ Automatic video to podcast conversion
I like to listen to podcasts more than I like to watch videos on Youtube. Some videos such as Interviews, News can be converted to podcasts as usually there is not much value in the video of such content; but the conversion needs to be done manually by extracting audio from the video.
I would like to have a podcast app which can also take in video links (such as Youtube, Vimeo etc.) and convert them to audio (i.e. podcasts) automatically.
This kind of app seems to be getting a lot of developer attention at present. Yay for Users!
Momento is one of the best in class.
Free with a limited “privacy tax” and ton of features you didn’t know you needed like: bookmarks that save a brief transcription of the audio along with your personal notes on the clip, LINKED TO THE TIMESTAMP and trigger-able by your AirPod’s “double click” and mass-export to your PKM of choice…. It’s amazing.
And best of all, IT WORKS for your favorite YOUTUBEs content, AS AUDIO PODCASTS, from within the APP ITSELF!
(And unlike the native YouTube app, which requires a subscription to YouTube TV, you can listen without keeping your phone’s screen on—don’t tell google, or it’ll surely disappear…).
Called “Momento - Podcast Clips to Text” in the iOS AppStore.

Thanks for sharing but isn't Momento a transcription app which is more suited for /problems/46 ?
1 will pay for this solution.
Most welcome.
Its app description is, "Listen to any podcast, and clip any moment into text." But this is not the capability of value for which I referenced it.
The OP mentioned a specific interest in listening to YouTube videos audibly as podcasts automatically, without having to manually extract and convert the audio content for use.
Momento does this exact thing, beautifully and automatically, in-app. Users can search for their fave YouTube Channel, any episode, and listen, sans video, to their heart's content! It's beautifully done and exactly satisfies OP's primary gapped need. (except no integration for Vimeo or direct URL links as yet)
But even better, Users can Follow, make playlists, get updates, and download whole episodes from all their podcastified YousTubes!
But wait, there's more! It allows annotation and exporting clips +/- the annotations in a variety of output formats for sharing or further digestion.
Annnnd, it also does the 'clip and transcribe to text' thang...
I do wonder how Momento got YouTube to okay these functions, since to listen to YTubes offline (or even with your phone's display off... come on Youtube...) requires a monthly subscription to YouTubeTV or YouTube+ or whatever it's called...
I happen to be building exactly this https://listenbox.app/
It has iOS https://listenbox.app/ios and Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.listenbox integrations
Hey, this is what I was looking for, Thank you!
Can you build an option to include channels in the app for automatic conversion on new videos and notify as new podcast available?
Sure, it's already there. And it's a paid feature (you can try 14 day free trial)
Whats wrong with these?

There are several Youtube audio extractors, including browser add-ons. These require manual actions, but what I want is a podcast app which has already has converted youtube videos from the selected channels to podcasts.
