Automatic .srt file

[cslop3r]

Hello, is it possible in Python to use vosk-api to make automatic subtitles (.srt file) using a audio (.wav) file like in Subtitle Edit app? If yes, how? Thanks for your answer

Sure, see example here:

Thanks for your answer! I saw this example, however I don't exactly get it.

Where do I put the name of my audio file in order that it creates subtitles?

Why do I get list index out of range error with sys.argv[1],?

Also, why does Model(lang="fr") uses small model instead of the big one?

Sorry for all these questions, hoping you can help me

You can use the name of the file instead of sys.argv[1]

Why do I get list index out of range error with sys.argv[1],?

Because you do not provide command line argument

Also, why does Model(lang="fr") uses small model instead of the big one?

You have to specify model name instead Model(model_name="vosk-model-fr-0.22")

Thanks a lot it works! Last question, how to save as .srt file instead of print it?

[nshmyrev]

Something like

with open("file.srt", "w") as fh:
     fh.write(rec.SrtResult(stream))

[cslop3r]

Thanks!!! Is there an option to save with an encoding utf-8 without BOM?

[nshmyrev]

I suppose

with open("file.srt", "w", encoding='utf-8') as fh:
     fh.write(rec.SrtResult(stream))

     fh.write(rec.SrtResult(stream))

Ah yes I'm dumb. Thank you for your help, have a nice evening!
