Whisper Video2SRT

The Whisper Video2SRT repository focuses on converting video files (formats supported by FFmpeg) into .srt subtitle files. It incorporates the OpenAI Whisper large-v3 model via the HuggingFace pipeline, enabling optimizations. While the main GitHub version provides timestamping and SRT file output functionalities, they are not integrated (as of the time), and this version lacks optimizations.

Usage

1. Place your video files into the video_input folder.

2. Run the video2srt.ipynb or video2srt.py script.
