@djsundog @CaribenxMarciaX @eloisa @ajroach42 Yeah, I've been doing a ton of automatic transcriptions using Whisper (the tool Sundog is talking about) for a variety of videos in the Internet Archive as part of a test run of them. They're not perfect (especially with some names), but they are an excellent starting point, and very fast (and effectively free) to generate. If you want to give it a try, you can throw me a video file link and I'll happily send you some subtitle files.
@djsundog @CaribenxMarciaX @eloisa @ajroach42 Oh, right, there was a YouTube video linked in the thread. Here, have some subtitle files: https://transfer.sh/ELUSuq/Rebelle.srt or https://transfer.sh/0RIOLO/Rebelle.vtt
You can pick either one of them (I like .srt) and edit it in a text editor to fix up any issues, then you're done! Put it next to the video file with the same name (but different extension) and most players (like VLC) will show the subtitles (you may have to turn on subtitles, depending on the player).
