+# AI Video Transcriber & Translator
+
+This tool extracts audio from videos, transcribes it using OpenAI's Whisper model, and translates the transcript using Google's Gemini API.
+
+## Setup
+
+1.  **Install Dependencies:**
+    ```bash
+    pip install -r requirements.txt
+    ```
+    *Note: You need `ffmpeg` installed on your system.*
+
+2.  **API Key:**
+    Set your Gemini API key as an environment variable:
+    ```bash
+    export GEMINI_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
+    ```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Linux / Mac
+Run the wizard script:
+```bash
+./run_v2.py
+```
+
+### Windows
+1.  **Install FFmpeg:** Download from [ffmpeg.org](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html) and add the `bin` folder to your System PATH.
+2.  **Run:** Double-click `run_v2.bat`.
+    *   It will automatically create the virtual environment, install dependencies, and launch the tool.
+
+### Manual CLI
+```bash
+python ai_transcriber_v2/main.py <path_to_video> [options]
+```
+
+### Options:
+*   `--model`: Whisper model size (`tiny`, `base`, `small`, `medium`, `large`). Default: `base`.
