Decipher 📺️

AI-generated transcription subtitles are a way to automatically add subtitles to your videos by using artificial intelligence to transcribe the audio from the video. This eliminates the need for manual transcription and can make your videos more accessible to a wider audience. Decipher uses whisper to transcribe the audio taken from the video and create subtitles

What is whisper?

Whisper is an automatic State-of-the-Art speech recognition system from OpenAI that has been trained on 680,000 hours of multilingual and multitask supervised data collected from the web. This large and diverse dataset leads to improved robustness to accents, background noise and technical language.

Command-line usage

The transcribe subcommand allows you to transcribe a video file into a SubRip Subtitle (SRT) file. It also has the option to automatically add the generated subtitles to the video.

The subtitle subcommand allows you to add subtitles to a video using an already existing SRT file. This subcommand does not perform transcription, but rather assumes that the SRT file has already been created. It is typically used by people who want to validate the accuracy of a transcription generated by the transcribe subcommand.
