Video to Text Transcription

This project is designed to convert video files into text by extracting the audio from the video and transcribing it using Python's speech_recognition library. The transcribed text files are saved in a dedicated folder.

Features

  • Convert video files (.mp4, .avi, .mov, .mkv) to WAV format using ffmpeg.
  • Transcribe audio files using Google Speech Recognition API (SpeechRecognition library).
  • Supports multiple languages, including Indonesian (id-ID), English (en-US), and Spanish (es-ES).
  • Automatically deletes the audio files after successful transcription.
  • Extract audio from video files.
  • Convert the extracted audio to text using Google Web Speech API.
  • Handle different video formats.

Requirements

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

  • Python 3.x
  • ffmpeg for extracting audio from video.
  • speechrecognition library for transcribing audio to text.

Setup and Installation

1. Clone the repository

Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/ryshaal/video-to-text.git
cd video-to-text

2. Install Required Libraries

Install the necessary Python packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Make sure ffmpeg is installed:

  • For Linux: 
    sudo apt install ffmpeg
  • For Windows, download ffmpeg from here and follow the installation instructions.

3. Place Videos in Input Folder

Place the video files you want to transcribe into the video_input/ folder.

4. Run the Script

Run the script to process the videos:

python main.py

5. Output

The transcribed text files will be saved in the transcribe/ folder with the same name as the video file.

Running on Termux (Android)

You can also run this project on Android using Termux. Follow these steps:

Install Prerequisites on Termux

  1. Update Termux and install essential packages:

    pkg update && pkg upgrade
pkg install python ffmpeg

  2. Install pip and required Python libraries:

    pkg install python-pip
pip install speechrecognition

  3. Install ffmpeg to handle video-to-audio conversion:

    pkg install ffmpeg

Running the Script on Termux

  1. Clone the repository in Termux:

    cd /storage/emulated/0/ && git clone https://github.com/ryshaal/video-to-text.git && cd /storage/emulated/0/video-to-text/

  2. Place your video files in the video_input folder.

  3. Run the script:

    python main.py

  4. Follow the instructions, and the transcribed text files will be saved in the transcribe folder.

Notes for Termux

  • Ensure that Termux has access to your storage. If needed, you can copy files from your internal storage to Termux using the command cp as shown above.
  • The performance on Android might be slower than on a desktop environment, so be patient while the video conversion and transcription process runs.
