Feature request: Auto-sync: Turn untimed transcript text into captions like YouTube Studio and Descript
Thanks for the great software! I wanted to share the following feature request:
YouTube allows people to paste or upload a plain text transcript for a video, and it will automatically assign timings for the text to generate timed captions, which can then be exported as .srt, .vtt, etc. This feature is called Auto-Sync. Descript offers a similar syncing feature.
The procedure would be that user has a video or audio with text transcript of the media. The text has no timing information, and the user would like to generate captions/subtitles from that text. So the user provider the media and the text, and the platform automatically adds timing and syncs up the text to the media.
This tutorial provides a good demo of the feature on Descript: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzAexFlyNNI
