How to transcribe video to text with timestamp in Windows 10?

For users who need to transcribe video to text, DeepSpeech is an open-source speech-to-text engine that supports offline operation. With some configuration, it supports timestamping, which is very useful when you need to process audio locally.

How to Transcribe Video to Text

1. Use

pip install deepspeech

2. Install the software.

3. Download a compatible pre-trained model.

4. Prepare the audio or video files you want to process.

5. Open a terminal in the folder containing the model and media files.

6. Run

deepspeech --model model.pbmm --audio audio.wav --json.

7. Check the transcription and timestamps in the generated JSON output.

8. Review the text and make any necessary corrections.

Note

• If you need to transcribe a video into text, please note that the command uses audio files, so you may need to extract the audio from the video first.

When offline processing and open-source software are more important than transcription accuracy, this software is a simple and easy-to-use option.
