translatevideo

-Bulk scans video files and transribes and translates video audio into srt subtitle files. Places srt files adjacent to video files.

--Runs on windows/linux/mac

--AMD/Intel/Nvidia GPU compatibility on windows/mac/linux using whisper CPP - Vulkan. Unlike whisper python which is only compatible with NVIDIA GPU's.

Currently only translates into English from other languages. Fastest when transcribing english audio.

Free, all processing is done locally. There is no api. Uses whisper cpp and argos translate to do the transribing and transcription.
