I am a long term but intermittent programmer with limited skills using visual basic and I need help to learn Python so that I can download voice transcriptions from YouTube.  I downloaded the latest Python and opened the IDLE environment.  I then tried to do the following that I got from Grok but apparently you don't put in "pip install youtube_transcript_api " into the Python editor. In a nutshell, I want to download transcripts from YouTube when given a list of YouTube links.  I would like to get both transcript versions that includes timestamps and without timestamps. Long-term I would like to figure out ways to correct mistakes in the transcriptions but first I would like to get the transcriptions.  I would also like to figure out how AI can summarize topics when prompted with questions related to the transcriptions.
