Easy way to add translated captions to your videos
One script extracts captions from a video using Speech-to-Text with OpenAI's Whisper and translates them using deep-translator (GoogleTranslator), exporting an editable .srt file for any necessary modifications. Another script integrates these captions back into the original video.
- Python
- ffmpeg
- whisper (
pip install openai-whisper) - deep-translator (
pip install deep-translator)
- Place Your Video: Put your video file in the same directory as the Python scripts or update the video path in the scripts.
- Run the Transcription Script (generate_captions.py) Modify generate_subtitles.py if needed to adjust input/output paths or target language (set to French by default).
- Execute the script to generate an .srt file with translated subtitles.
- Review and Edit Open the .srt file to manually check or correct the subtitles.
- Run the Captions Integration Script (add_captions.py) Adjust the paths in add_subtitles_to_video.py for your input video and .srt file if necessary.
