transcribe-anything 2.7.16

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

transcribe-anything

USES WHISPER AI

Over 200+⭐'s because this program just works!!

Input a local file or url and this tool 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. 🤯🤯🤯

Your data stays private and is not uploaded to any service.

Insanely fast on cuda platforms

If you pass in --device insane on a cuda platform then this tool will use this state of the art version of whisper: https://github.com/Vaibhavs10/insanely-fast-whisper

Install

pip install transcribe-anything

GPU Acceleration

Unlike other whisper implementations, this one should automatically bind to the GPU if nvidia-smi drivers are installed. This is due to the use of isolated-environment which will lazily install the GPU-accelerated version of Torch on first use.

Because of this isolation, this tool should not interfere with torch and other AI dependencies.

Api

from transcribe_anything.api import transcribe

transcribe(
    url_or_file="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ",
    output_dir="output_dir",
)

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

• pip install transcribe-anything
  • The command transcribe_anything will magically become available.
• transcribe_anything <YOUTUBE_URL>
