Python Whisper API: Extract Video Subtitles with Ease

Here's a comprehensive guide on how to extract video subtitles using the Whisper API in Python:

1. Install Whisper Library: Begin by installing the Whisper library using the following command in your terminal:

   pip install whisper
   

2. Import Whisper Library: Import the Whisper library into your Python script:

   import whisper
   

3. Load Video Subtitles: Use the following code to load your video subtitles:

   subtitle = whisper.load_subtitle('path/to/subtitle.srt')
   

   Replace 'path/to/subtitle.srt' with the actual path to your SRT subtitle file.

4. Print Subtitle Content: Print the subtitles using this code:

   for line in subtitle:
       print(line)
   

   This code iterates through each line of the subtitle and displays it.

5. Process Subtitle Content: You can manipulate the extracted subtitle data with this code:

   for line in subtitle:
       start_time, end_time, text = line
       # Perform your desired operations with start_time, end_time, and text
   

   The start_time, end_time, and text variables contain the start and end times and the actual text of each subtitle line. Use them for further processing.

Important Note: The Whisper library currently supports SRT subtitle format only. If your subtitles are in a different format, convert them to SRT before using this method.
