The provided Python script addresses the problem statement by creating a tool to facilitate the adoption of Same Language Subtitling (SLS) among content producers, aligning with the BIRD initiative's goal. The tool allows for the generation of SRT subtitle files by transcribing the audio from a video file and aligning it with the provided text file containing the script. The implementation leverages the OpenAI Whisper model to transcribe the audio accurately. This tool supports the Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada languages, enabling content producers in these regions to provide SLS content easily. The Gradio interface simplifies the process by allowing users to upload both the video and text files, and upon clicking a button, the tool generates the SRT file, streamlining the process of creating accessible content for approximately 200 million weak readers and 30 million readers with accessibility needs.
