#SubtitleEdit

2025-05-05

Just watched a short by AuDHD content creator Olivia Lutfallah, entitled "This is why ADHD is so hard" and, ooooof, did we feel it 🥺

The video sadly lacks subtitles, so we ran it through the Audio To Text (Whisper) functionality in Subtitle Edit to generate a transcript for accessibility purposes:

One of the hardest parts about having ADHD isn't a lack of talent, but the lack of consistency.

It's knowing that you could be amazing at so many different things, but never managing to stick to one long enough to show it.

People call you smart, but your thoughts are so far ahead that your mouth just can't keep up.

It's a constant loop of forgetting, restarting, and chasing a finish line that just keeps on moving.

Even friendships take a hit. You either drift away without realizing, or you give so much of yourself that people stop valuing it.

We joke about it like it's nothing, but deep down, we are actively grieving the versions of ourselves that we may have been if only our minds would just slow down.

In case anyone wants to know the settings we used to generate this, we used Purfview's Faster-Whisper-XXL as the engine with the large-v3 English language model.

Hey folks :FediverseSymbol:

We've actually done an unwritten, off-the-cusp trans voice Friday recording today :TransHeart:

We've not listened back to it, because voice dysphoria, but we've added full alt text.

In case you're wondering how we've done that without listening back to it, we've once against used an amazing tool called Subtitle Edit, which has audio to text functionality via the Whisper speech recognition engine.

We used the large-v3 model, which is about 3.1 GB, but gives incredibly accurate transcription.

In case anyone can't access the alt text, we've added the full transcript below too.

Hey folks, I know that we haven't done a voice note in forever, and that's been for a multitude of reasons, some of which are related to mental health, some of which are related to work, stress, anxiety, depression, etc, things like that, which comes under mental health anyway, yeah, partly due to poor time management, yay for being AuDHD! But not gonna lie, some of it does come down to underlying voice dysphoria, because this is the best we've managed to get since December 2021. And just for anyone who hasn't heard roughly what we sounded like beforehand, we haven't exactly moved our voice up a lot. I mean, the base level would just be down here. So I can move my voice back up here easily now, and this is the comfortable, this is the default voice. But, um... It's not where I want it to be, it's not in the female range, and I can't easily push the pitch up higher without it sounding wrong. But yeah, there's been a lot of stuff going on recently, um, a lot of bad stuff for everyone, don't want to talk about all of that. But, um, let's just focus on supporting each other, helping each other, um, being kind to ourselves and others right now, and being compassionate and empathetic. That's all I've really got to say. I'm trying to do the same thing with ourselves, but yeah, it's hard sometimes. Anyway, ta-ta for now.

Per a recommendation from the amazing @babe, we got ourselves a mulberry silk square from a lovely Etsy seller.

Took us several attempts and guides to work out how to make it successfully work for our long hair though 😞

Last night, we finally found a video that taught us a method that works for us 🥰

How I Wrap My Wavy Hair At Night: Step By Step Breakdown

We had to leave it running and running though, as she was going through the steps too quickly for us, and we're a slow-learner when it comes to anything physical 😅

In case anyone wants or needs it, using the power of the Audio To Text (Whisper) function in Subtitle Edit, which allows you to use various engines and models, we turned the audio into text.

Here's the step-by-step breakdown of how I wrap my hair to protect it as I sleep. I'm using a large silk scarf because my hair is really long. And this is just something I had lying around my apartment. It was actually my grandma's. Starting with it over my shoulders like a cape, I'm going to tie these two front corners together, sort of like a headband, just like this. And as you can see, my hair is contained within the scarf. And then I'm going to grab the bottom corners and lift up over my head like this. So now I'm creating a little pouch for my hair. Since this scarf is so big, I then roll it down, lifting my hair up as I do this to get it up behind my head. This is what it looks like. And then I just tie these pieces at the nape of my neck. I then tuck this front piece in and under. And that's it! This is what it looks like at the end. And it's really secure so it doesn't fall off my head, but you can also Bobby pin.

For anyone else who needs to generate almost perfect transcription from audio, we highly recommend using Subtitle Edit if you want subtitles. Otherwise, check out the Whisper Github page. It gives lots of options (including links to standlone executables and programs that support the various engines.

We're using the Faster-Whisper-XXL engine and the faster-whisper-large-v3 English language model.

The Faster-Whisper executables are x86-64 compatible with Windows 7, Linux v5.4, macOS v10.15 and above, but the Faster-Whisper-XXL executables don't have macOS listed as being supported. There's probably some way to get it running though, but we're not code-savvy enough for that 😅

#AI saves money, #whisper especially has saved quite a bit already as even videos on intranets need to be subtitled and paying for hours of transcripts (that are also just AI generated with proprietary, closed systems anyway) gets expensive fast. #diysaves #subtitleedit #accessibility #WCAG

@PiTau

Jak wygenerujesz sobie napisy do video, to edytura możesz już użyć dowolnego do korekty.
Jeśli szukasz takiego z wyświetlaniem waveforma, to może zainteresuje Cię #SubtitleEdit: nikse.dk/subtitleedit
Mają też wersję edytora online:
nikse.dk/subtitleedit/online

Takich narzędzi jest sporo. Kiedyś używałem edytora napisów z Kapwing.

Natomiast na kustomizacje pod głos osoby czy kilka innych ficzerów systemu #NapiGen warto poczekać.

Wonder how much € would be saved if people only knew about free and/or open source solutions. #whisperai #whispercpp #subtitleedit

On utilise le programme #subtitleedit pour les transcriptions des projets le nécessitant. Avant l'envois vers un tier pour la traduction.
Ce programme développé pour #windows (.net), fonctionne très bien sous #linux grâce a #mono
