I'm done.

I've typed 1055 lines by hand in two days.

Blisters on your fingers! Thank you ghost, I was afraid I would have to watch the VHS.

Blisters on your fingers!

I know you wouldn't get blisters. You*re used to write this amount of letters in half an hour.

I type while wearing heavy leather gloves ... but I then have to go back and edit all the mistakes.

And I make up my own crap instead of transcribing another source, so no one knows if what I write is "correct".

WOW thanks for your work, ghost! Did you have to manually add the lines as well as the timeframes for each line? Or did you make whisper transcription to attempt to get a skeletal outline of timeframes to start out with?

I see that VideoSubFinder gave him the timecodes even though it failed to recognize the fuzzy VHS subtitles. Thank goodness for small favors, because I think Whisper might have been inexact for the timing, AND creating subtitle locations using the WaveForm in SubtitleEdit gets to be exhausting. All that typing is enough work on its own!

No, as Night457 said.

At least I was able to create an empty srt file only with the timecodes that VIdeoSubFinder gave me. I think it would have been more work to do it Whisper from scratch.

I'm going to have to give VideoSubFinder a try. Sounds very helpful. I have a few ideas for my next projects (no more books after this).

It works pretty well to make an srt from hardcoded subs. But it's some work... You need an OCR reading software like Abbyy FineReader.

VideoSubFinder is written assuming you use Abbyy FineReader.

However, I also got it working with gImageReader which uses tesseract for OCR. It's a little inferior to Abbyy FineReader, but is free. Send me a PM if you want some tips for setting it up.
