GetSubtitlesApp Files

V2 rebuilds the app. Streamlit is gone: one FastAPI process now serves its own page. There is one file to download for Windows, Linux and macOS, with ffmpeg inside.

Download

• Windows: GetSubtitlesApp.zip. Unzip it and double-click GetSubtitles.exe. Windows may show "Windows protected your PC" the first time, because the exe is not code signed. Click More info, then Run anyway.
• Linux (x64): GetSubtitles-linux-x64.tar.gz. Unpack it and run ./GetSubtitles.
• macOS (Apple Silicon): GetSubtitles-macos-arm64.zip. Unzip it and open GetSubtitles.app. The app is not signed by Apple, so the first time go to System Settings, Privacy & Security, and click Open Anyway. This is the first macOS build: it passed an automatic test with a real file, but it has not been tried by hand yet.

The app opens in your browser.

What's new

• Subtitle editor: Check the subtitles on the video and fix them in the app. Change the text and the times, split or join lines, find and replace a misheard name, move every line earlier or later.
• Audio tracks: When a video has more than one audio track, you choose the one to transcribe. This was requested in [#1].
• Language: The app detects the language from up to two minutes of speech, not only the first 30 seconds, and you can choose the language yourself. This fixes the wrong translation reported in [#2], where a video came out in another language without being asked.
• Turbo model: A fourth model, Whisper large-v3-turbo (1.6 GB). It cannot translate, so a translation chosen with Turbo runs on Best.
• GPU support with one button: On Windows and Linux with an NVIDIA card, the page offers Download GPU support. It downloads cuBLAS 12 and cuDNN 9 from PyPI (about 1.2 GB, 1.9 GB on disk), checks them by checksum, and the models then run on the GPU. If the GPU fails during a job, the job runs again on the CPU.
• Progress in percent: Model and GPU support downloads show how far they are.
• More formats: .srt, .vtt and .txt.
• Several files: Add several files at once and download all the subtitles as one .zip.
• Large files: Files up to 8 GB are written straight to disk.
• Storage folder: Models and the log are kept in their own folder (%LOCALAPPDATA%\GetSubtitles on Windows). The bottom of the page shows the folder and opens it.
• Closing: The app closes itself about a minute after you close its tab, or at once with Close the app.

Models

Each model is downloaded once, the first time you use it. Best needs about 8 GB of graphics memory on a GPU.

The demo on Hugging Face runs the same version with the Fast model and files up to 500 MB.
