Automatic subtitles in your videos

This repository uses ffmpeg and OpenAI's Whisper to automatically generate and overlay subtitles on any video.

Installation

#For Linux

pip install ffmpeg-python 

You'll also need to install ffmpeg, which is available from most package managers:

Usage

The following command will generate a subtitled/video.mp4 file contained the input video with overlayed subtitles.

auto_subtitle /path/to/video.mp4 -o subtitled/

The default setting (which selects the small model) works well for transcribing English. You can optionally use a bigger model for better results (especially with other languages). The available models are tiny, tiny.en, base, base.en, small, small.en, medium, medium.en, large.

auto_subtitle /path/to/video.mp4 --model medium

Adding --task translate will translate the subtitles into English:

auto_subtitle /path/to/video.mp4 --task translate

Run the following to view all available options:

auto_subtitle --help
