A Python-based tool that that takes video files and generates .srt subtitle files using Whisper for speech recognition, FFmpeg for audio processing, and a simple Tkinter GUI

EasySubber

EasySubber is a Python-based tool that allows you to generate .srt subtitle files from video files in various formats (e.g., .mkv, .mp4, .avi). It utilizes OpenAI's Whisper model for speech-to-text transcription, FFmpeg for audio extraction, and Tkinter for a simple graphical user interface (GUI).

Features

• Supports a variety of video formats: .mkv, .mp4, .avi, etc.
• Automatically creates subtitles in the .srt format.
• Whisper model provides high quality speech recognition.
• GUI interface built with Tkinter for ease of use.
• Uses FFmpeg to efficiently extract audio from video files.

Requirements

Before using EasySubber, make sure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.x
• Whisper
• FFmpeg
• Tkinter (tipically included with Python)

Install the required Python packages:

pip install whisper ffmpeg-python tkinter

To install FFmpeg:

• Windows: FFmpeg Windows Installation Guide
• Linux: sudo apt install ffmpeg
• macOS: brew install ffmpeg

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/ignabelitzky/easy-subber.git
cd easy-subber

2. Run the program:

python main.py

3. Select the video file you want to process.
4. EasySubber will generate an .srt subtitle file in the same directory as the video.

How It Works

1. File Selection: Use the Tkinter GUI to select a video file.
2. Audio Extraction: FFmpeg extracts the audio track from the video.
3. Transcription: Whisper transcribes the audio into text.
4. Subtitle Creation: The transcription is formatted into .srt subtitles with proper timestamps.
