Video to Text Transcription

This project is designed to convert video files into text by extracting the audio from the video and transcribing it using Python's speech_recognition library. The transcribed text files are saved in a dedicated folder.

Features

• Convert video files (.mp4, .avi, .mov, .mkv) to WAV format using ffmpeg.
• Transcribe audio files using Google Speech Recognition API (SpeechRecognition library).
• Supports multiple languages, including Indonesian (id-ID), English (en-US), and Spanish (es-ES).
• Automatically deletes the audio files after successful transcription.
• Extract audio from video files.
• Convert the extracted audio to text using Google Web Speech API.
• Handle different video formats.

Running on Termux (Android)

You can also run this project on Android using Termux. Follow these steps:

Install Prerequisites on Termux

1. Update Termux and install essential packages:

   pkg update && pkg upgrade
   pkg install python ffmpeg

2. Install pip and required Python libraries:

   pkg install python-pip
   pip install speechrecognition

3. Install ffmpeg to handle video-to-audio conversion:

   pkg install ffmpeg

Running the Script on Termux

1. Clone the repository in Termux:

   cd /storage/emulated/0/ && git clone https://github.com/ryshaal/video-to-text.git && cd /storage/emulated/0/video-to-text/
   

2. Place your video files in the video_input folder.

3. Run the script:

   python main.py

4. Follow the instructions, and the transcribed text files will be saved in the transcribe folder.

Notes for Termux

• Ensure that Termux has access to your storage. If needed, you can copy files from your internal storage to Termux using the command cp as shown above.
• The performance on Android might be slower than on a desktop environment, so be patient while the video conversion and transcription process runs.
