    Awesome work, Kevin. Thank you very much for taking the time to make it possible for all of us to follow in your footsteps. My plan for your excellent tutorial is to apply it to two immersive language learning courses I've struggled with. Immersive sounds important but it's meaningless. What it really means is that we'll find ourselves stuck in a language course where only the teacher was capable of understanding & translating the target language. The rest of us will have to guess meanings from the clues and contexts in the material, like a newborn infant. It takes thousands of incidental exposures to build a large vocab. And like me half the other students often only speak their native languages fluently. This is how languages should be taught. Bless you, Kevin.

    "unexpected indent" Just to point this out in case it happened to anyone else:
    When entering that code in the description, it kept failing, getting this "unexpected indent" nonsense. It drove me crazy for a while, but then I figured out the solution: just before the, " !sudo apt update && sudo apt install ffmpeg" part, was a blank character. Once I deleted that blank character (right before " !sudo......"), everything worked fine.

    A bit off topic, but when I was playing around a Speak and Spell IC in the 1980s, I noticed that whispering really helped when trying to encode speech for the IC. Speak and Spell used linear predictive coding to synthesize speech. My analysis code could not handle voiced segments, but worked well on whispering. Back then it would take many hours to encode a couple of seconds of speech on my pitiful 8080 PC. Gotta say I am really impressed with the way speech technology has advanced over the years.

    I've been working for years now trying to find a solution to accurately transcribe my voice. I suffer from muscular dystrophy, so my voice is really low. I've tried dozens of microphones, programs and interfaces but never found something as powerful and accurate as Whisper.
    It's completely unbelievable how it can be so accurate! I've tried to transcribe my worst-quality recordings and it got almost 100% accuracy every time, especially when using the "large" model which gives even more impressive results.
    Thank you very much for sharing and don't hesitate to give us more tips about speech recognition. it's getting better lately but there still is a lot of work to do.
    By the way, do you know any way to obtain a file without automatic line breaks in the .txt file? It gives me a lot of work to do after transcribing to format the text.
    (this whole paragraph has been transcribed using whisper ; 100% correct! And I'm french and speak english as a foreign language. And I've got a terrible sore throat killing my voice)

You have to chose either Python3 or R from the runtime options. Then you can chose between CPU, T4-GPU, A100-GPU and V100-GPU or TPU. So far I tried picking Python3 and t4-GPU and it didn't give me any results. Are you using this, Have you seen this and what do you chose to get your results?

    Great way to generate captions! thank you for the video! Can you share a coding example for transcribing other language, for example Chinese? Thanks!

  • @Egyptian-Culture-on-Film

    Great! Thank you. Adding codes may not be the easiest way for regular users, and you didn't show us the alternative method to do it without codes. However, I tried it with Arabic short video and had hard time to finish the process. Could you please make a video to show us other software programs on PC to have auto-captions in various languages? By the way, I liked your Clipchamp video, but when it comes to auto-captions in Arabic, Clipchamp keeps freezing and doesn't finish the task.

      I have same freezing issue with Finnish in Clipchamp. Short English clip worked well IIRC. I have very entry level HP PC that was 239 euros on sale (RRP 429 euros). Bought it about 2,5 years ago. Do you have more powerful PC than mine, because I'm suspecting that my PC not being efficient/powerful enough could be contributing factor to thi issue with Clipchamp?

      @KevinStratvert  Před rokem +1

      @@senkinholkkaaja Clipchamp is all web based, so your PC shouldn't impact whether it's able to transcribe. You could shoot Clipchamp support a note telling them about the issue. Alternatively, this method should work well irrespective of your computer specs.

    Absolutely brilliant! Especially after spending lots of time on sites claiming to transcribe audio -- only to find about the limitations applied to free options once my files were uploaded...

    • @try_error_try_error
      @try_error_try_error Před 4 měsíci

      Hi again, I was wondering whether you would suggest new options nowadays to have (even live) audio transcribed faster with Whisper AI. Huggingface seems to offer some great ways to do that but I couldn't figure out what to do exactly.
      Also, is there a way to "batch process" multiple (small) audio files using Google Colab by a slight modification of the code above? Thank you!

  • @education_elevation
    @education_elevation Před rokem +3

    Thanks for the great video! Just one question: Is there any way that we can instruct Whisper to only transcribe certain time segments instead of transcribing the whole audio. Let's say I have 3-hour audio, and I want to transcribe just the last half an hour. Is there a way to do that?

    • @Ozpeter
      @Ozpeter Před rokem

      I guess the simple answer would be to use a basic audio editor to split off to a new file the audio that you want to transcribe.

The first couple of times I was able to do it but then when I tried a .m4p file (about 45 min long) I am getting a "/bin/bash: line 1: whisper: command not found". Can you please explain this in layman's terms? what do I do to fix this? Thank you

  • @yoteach
    @yoteach Před 9 měsíci +2

    Thank you very much, Kevin! This is such a big help to me. I don't know the precise accuracy I just experienced in using this Whisper AI method of transcription compared to my manual transcription I previously experienced, but if I were to guess I would give this something above 90% accuracy. Yes, there were some errors in the transcription. For example, the speaker would say, ". . . gonna," and Whisper AI transcribed it as, ". . . going to." Well, using the 80/20 rule, I think I can live with errors like that for the work I'm doing. Other errors were Whisper AI transcribed a word that either wasn't spoken by the speaker or did not transcribe a word spoken by the speaker. Still, 90%+ accuracy with accurate timestamps is a plus for me. What I like most is it saved me from spending $99 on a transcription subscription service. I've yet to find anything that can beat free! It was very easy to follow your instructions. You're clearly a gifted instructor. God bless you! Thank you for sharing!
