Subtitles from raw video, in three minutes

"I stopped skipping subtitles on my videos because it stopped being tedious."

Paste it into your assistant chat. Your assistant will ask what you need and set it up for you.

The problem

Adding subtitles to a two-minute video used to mean exporting audio, uploading to a transcription service, waiting, importing the subtitle file into a video editor, adjusting timing, and re-exporting. Twenty minutes minimum. I'd skip it half the time.

What you do

Send your assistant a raw video in Telegram with one line: 'Can you add subtitles?'

What your assistant returns

Extracts audio via ffmpeg, sends it to Whisper for a timestamped transcript, writes a small script to convert Whisper output into .srt, then runs ffmpeg again to burn the subtitles into the video. Sends back a finished clip.
