Subtitles Generator Using Python

This is a small effort to create a video subtitles generator using Python's built-in libraries and Google's Web Speech API. The project processes audio or video files, converts the speech into text, and outputs the results in SRT (SubRip Subtitle) format.

Features

• Speech Recognition: Uses Google Web Speech API to transcribe speech from media files.
• SRT Subtitle Generation: Automatically generates subtitles with timestamps in SRT format.
• File Handling: Writes the recognized speech to a notepad document in SRT form for easy use in video editing.

Supported Speech Recognition APIs

While this project uses Google Web Speech API, Python supports the following additional APIs for speech recognition:

• Microsoft Bing Speech
• Google Cloud Speech (requires google-cloud-speech package)
• Houndify by Sound Hound
• IBM Speech to Text
• CMU Sphinx (requires installing Pocket Sphinx)
• Wit.ai

Prerequisites

Before running this project, ensure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.x
• PyDub (pip install pydub)
• MoviePy (pip install moviepy)
• SpeechRecognition (pip install SpeechRecognition)
• FFMPEG (for processing media files)
