transcribe-anything 2.0.5

Uses whisper AI to transcribe speach from video and audio files. Also accepts urls for youtube, rumble, bitchute, clear file, etc.

transcribe-anything

Input a local file or url and this service will transcribe it using Whisper AI into subtitle files and raw text.

Uses whisper AI so this is state of the art translation service - completely free. 🤯🤯🤯

If you install from PYPI then by default it will install the CPU version only. To enable the GPU version, you *must install by cloning the github and running install_cuda.sh script, due to security lockdowns that can't be bypassed (pypi only allows dependencies within the ecosystem). Please note that whatever torch version you have will be purged with install_cuda.sh script.

Usage

> pip install transcribe-anything
> transcribe_anything <YOUTUBE_URL>
# Outputs the srt, vtt and txt files in YOUTUBE_URL/out.vtt
> transcribe_anything <LOCAL.MP4/MP3/WAV>
# Same but in LOCAL/out.vtt ...

Build Status

Install CPU Version

If you want GPU acceleration then you need special installation instructions:

> git clone https://github.com/zackees/transcribe-anything
> cd transcribe_anything
> ./install_cuda.sh  # will uninstall torch and replace with torch+cuda 1.12.0
# Should now be installed
> transcribe_anything https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

Develop

Works for Ubuntu/MacOS/Win32(in git-bash) This will create a virtual environment

> cd transcribe_anything
> ./install_dev.sh
# Enter the environment:
> source activate.sh

The environment is now active and the next step will only install to the local python. If the terminal is closed then to get back into the environment cd transcribe_anything and execute source activate.sh

Required: Install to current python environment
