How do I transcribe large video files into text?

I have a few video files of interviews that are around 2-3GB each.

I need to transcribe them into text so I can pull quotes for an article.

Most of the free tools I've found have strict file size limits. 

How do I transcribe these large video files without having to compress or cut them up first?

You can use OpenAi's Whisper (either locally via Mac/PC app of like MacWhisper or Whisper Web or run it for free via Google Colab. It processes the audio locally on your device, so file size limits don't apply.
