GUI for Unlimited Transcription and Translation with Whisper Hebrew

A powerful transcription and translation tool leveraging the ivrit-ai/whisper-v2-d3-e3 model and Whisper-v2 model for high-quality, unlimited-length audio processing with enhanced paragraph splitting and temporary file management for a clean workspace.

Features

• Unlimited Length Transcription: Transcribe audio files of any length without limitations.
• Support for Multiple Languages: Choose from Hebrew, English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Arabic for translation.
• General and Hebrew Models: Use either the general model (large-v2) for accurate timestamp generation or the specialized Hebrew model (ivrit-ai/whisper-v2-d3-e3) for improved Hebrew transcription.
• Proportional Timings: Accurate proportional timings based on the general model to ensure alignment with the actual audio length.
• SRT File Generation: Option to generate SRT files with synchronized subtitles.
• HTML Paragraph Formatting: Proper formatting of transcriptions and translations into paragraphs for better readability.
• GPU Support: Leverage GPU for faster transcription and translation if available.

Usage

Transcription and Translation

1. Upload Audio File: Click on the "Upload Audio File" button to select your audio file.
2. Select Target Language: Choose the desired language for translation from the dropdown menu. The default is set to Hebrew.
3. Select Model Choice: Choose between the "General Model" and the "Hebrew Model". The default is set to the "Hebrew Model".
4. Generate SRT File: Check the box if you want to generate an SRT file with subtitles.
5. Submit: Click the "Submit" button to start the transcription and translation process.

Example

1. Upload an audio file (e.g., example_audio.wav).
2. Select "English" as the target language.
