Automatic subtitles in your videos

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

Installation

To get started, you'll need Python 3.7 or newer. Install the binary by running the following command:

pip install git+https://github.com/m1guelpf/auto-subtitle.git

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

# on Ubuntu or Debian
sudo apt update && sudo apt install ffmpeg

# on MacOS using Homebrew (https://brew.sh/)
brew install ffmpeg

# on Windows using Chocolatey (https://chocolatey.org/)
choco install ffmpeg

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
