Abstract:

The use of videos for the purpose of communication has witnessed a phenomenal growth in the past few years. However, non-native language speakers or people with hearing disabilities are unable to take advantage of this powerful medium of communication. To overcome the problems caused by hearing disabilities or language barrier, subtitles are provided for videos. The subtitles are provided in the form of a subtitle file most commonly having a .srt extension. Several software have been developed for manually creating subtitle file, however software for automatically generating subtitles are scarce. In this paper, we introduce a system that we have envisioned will generate subtitles automatically through a 3- stage process: Audio extraction, Speech recognition and Subtitle synchronization.

Keywords:

Subtitles, .srt file, Audio Extraction, Speech Recognition, ffmpeg, JAVE, CMU Sphinx.
