whisper2subs

A CLI tool that transcribes audio using openai-whisper and translates it using DeepL.

Install

Usage

whisper2subs --help

Translate

In order to perform translations into languages other than English, it's required to provide an API key from DeepL. Using the --deepl-apikey option or with the DEEPL_APIKEY environment variable. You can create a free account to get an API key.

Transcribe and then translate to Spanish the audio of an mp4 file, using the large-v2 model.

whisper2subs -m large-v2 -t es --deepl-apikey "yout-api-key" input.mp4 subs/

If the language of the input file is not specified Whisper will try to detect it. To specify the language of the input file, use the -l option.

whisper2subs -l ja -m large-v2 -t es --deepl-apikey "yout-api-key" input.mp4 subs/

Change output format to str only:

whisper2subs -l ja -t es --output-format srt --deepl-apikey "yout-api-key" input.mp4 subs/
