[–] gato@feddit.de 33 points 2 years ago (2 children) You just need a GPU running in realtime along side your video playback to analyse what is being played instead of a single text file with timecodes. Progress! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Stephen304@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) It doesn't need to be realtime since you can pre generate an srt with time codes beforehand using something like bazarr. Whisper also runs faster than realtime in most model sizes, up to 32x realtime so it can really be worth it to add auto subtitles to media in your collection that's missing subtitles as a one time job. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] gato@feddit.de 1 point 2 years ago It's an interesting idea to patch the holes when absolutely no srt files are available. But why not have an open repository where already present srt files could be shared by people. We could call it libre-subs or something like that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ashok36@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) Could probably do it with something like a Google coral. You can get one for $60 these days. A lot cheaper than a GPU and less power hungry too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] dan@upvote.au 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) You can get one for $60 these days. I think they're $25ish from an official supplier. $60 is scalper pricing. Don't pay a scalper as it just encourages them to do it more. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ashok36@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) $25 for the m.2 version at least. It's $60 for the usb version which I assume most people would prefer. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dan@upvote.au 1 point 2 years ago* Ah, I didn't realise the USB one cost that much more. I'm not sure most people would prefer the USB version though. It's convenient to move around and you can use it with mini PCs, but cooling isn't as good compared to something that sits in a case with good airflow (so it's more likely to thermally throttle while in use), and having dedicated PCIe lanes as you'd get with an M.2 is way more efficient than using a shared bus like USB. Google have always advertised the USB version for "prototyping" while the M.2 versions are for "production". For $40, you can get an M.2 version that has two Coral TPUs on a single board. https://coral.ai/products/m2-accelerator-dual-edgetpu. I've got this one with a PCIe adapter, but currently only use one of the TPUs. permalink fedilink source parent [–] gato@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) That's still another thing that needs to be bought, installed, and fed with power.
