PySubs API - OpenAI powered subtitle generator API

PySubs API is a subtitle generator API powered by OpenAI's Whisper framework.

And we are currently in beta stage. This tool currently supports YouTube video links which means if you input a video url from YouTube, it will generate subtitles and let you download the subtitle in SRT format.

I will be fixing the bugs and keep on adding more features to it until it becomes a good enough tool to go into production stage. If you have any thoughts on the tool like feedback, feature requests etc. feel free to create an issue here.

Dependencies

Firebase Dependencies

• Setup firebase project with Firestore
• Set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS env variable with the Google service account key filepath so that PySubs can authenticate with Firebase.
• Use the CloudFunctions from pysubs-cloud-functions directory to sync the users between Firebase Users and Firestore users Collection
  • Users collection users need to have at least one credit for the users to be able to generate subtitles.
  • Currently seconds to credit ratio is based on the constant SECONDS_PER_ONE_CREDIT

Run using docker

• If running from GCP Cloudrun, add the role of Firebase Firestore Admin
• Or set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS env variable with the Google service account key filepath so that PySubs can authenticate with Firebase
