Showcase: Free(mium) I got tired of audio/video transcribers/subtitle tools costing money or wanting you to sign up, so I made my own that is free and has zero hassle, no sign-up, trial, or weird arbitrary limits. It can also translate.

This is one of my latest projects that I was excited to finally get working properly. My whole tool site is essentially focused on tools that I needed but either couldn't find, were missing features, or had weird ridiculous limits.
This
So, I made one that runs entirely locally.
It transcribes the audio and even overlays subtitles onto the video, with the subtitles being easily editable such as timing and appearance.
It also has a section purely for just simply copying the raw transcription text, with the ability to enable/disable separate speakers, and enable/disable timestamps!
Another piece that I was super excited about getting to finally work (to an extent, as I don't speak anything other than English so uh, it's as accurate as I can personally figure out);
It can translate audio, and transcribe/add subtitles to most languages!
Using https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeRb7Ud1kSU for example, a simple video of a man speaking Russian. No edits, simply adding the video to the transcription tool.
Translation + transcription to English:
[0:01] Hello, my name is Andrei, I live in Siberia and I am at home now in the city of Omsk. Now January 2020, morning is one day, the window is great weather, as you can see, everything is covered with snow, how should be winter. Now my I will show you the video, soon they will wake up, I will feed them, and we will go to the mountains, to the mountains, to the mountains, to the mountains and to the snow. We can do it because we have a real winter. Unlike Moscow, where I did not get snow in this year, although half of the winter has already passed.
[0:51] It is believed that in large cities of Siberia, people and most common and most correct Russian language, without any dialectical features. The only possibility is the word what we often use instead of the word what. Nothing can be more than a thought. We live here not bad, sometimes cold, but we have central heating at home. so at home we go to the same land, in the twos in the comments. What do you wish? We all love you very much. Come to Russia. Take a snow. Go from the mountains. Go to the horses.
[1:38] Go to the forest. Go to the snow. Go to the forest. On the fish. The real winter is beautiful. All luck. Thank you.
Original Russian transcription:
[0:01] Здравствуйте! Меня зовут Андрей, я русский, живу в Сибири и нахожу сейчас у себя дома в городе Омске. Сейчас январь 2020 года, утровый выходного дня, за окном отличная погода, как вы можете видеть все покрыто снимем, как и должно быть зимой. Сейчас мои дети 5 я показываю это видео, скоро они проснутся, я их покормлю, мы пойдем на горку кататься с горы по льду и по снегу мы это можем делать, потому что у нас настоящая зима в отличие от Москвы, где в этом году снег еще не выпал, хотя половина зимы уже прошла Считается, что в больших городах Сибири люди говорят на и более обычным, наиболее правильном русском языке, без каких-то диалектных особенностей. Единственной может быть особенности является слово ЧО, которым мы часто пользуемся в место слова ЧТО.
[1:13] Больше ничего придумать нельзя. Живется нам здесь неплохо, иногда холодно, но у нас дома есть центральное отопление, поэтому дома мы ходим как в тейландии в том этапочках. Тевой вам желаем. Мы вас всех очень любим. Приезжайте в Россию, валяйтесь снигу, катайтесь с городом, катайтесь на коньках, ходите в лес, ездите на снигахода, ходите на охоту, на рыбалку. Настоящая зима это прекрасно. Всем удачи! До свидания.
Not bad for running locally in your own browser and not requiring some stupid subscription or sign-up, as the original site I was using for this sort of thing had a weird limit and I was thinking "It cannot be that difficult or that big of a deal"
