Can I use this to transcribe a local video?

I don't find a command for doing this? Can we have this as an option?

You can use the whisper model directly to transcribe a local video: https://github.com/openai/whisper

@ztjhz Thanks, but the .vtt and .srt support is not there. I think it's not hard to fork this repo and add this functionality myself. just curious whether it makes sense to have a native local video support by this repo.

You can also use the following project for local videos (with support for vtt and srt), and optionally embed the subtitles in the video.
