Show HN: Video2SRT

by matejmecka on 8/29/23, 3:07 PM with 4 comments

Hello HN!

I’m a bachelors student pursuing Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Signal processing and during the year I had the goal to build my first AI Tool and launch it. I got inspired by how capable Whisper is, and combined the Whisper CPP Bindings along with FFMPEG.Wasm to create a tool that is capable of transcribing and captioning video files that contain one or more video tracks. Along with that, I’ve also added the support for transcribing audio files with the option to export those outputs as .SRT, .WebVTT or simply a text file. All done privately on a user’s web browser with WebAssembly. The only internet connection that is required is to download a particular model.

You can check out my project here: https://video2srt.ccextractor.org and I’d love to hear your ideas, feature requests, and feedback ^_^

    this is so cool, even better if there's an option to translate the SRT into other languages
