Special Thanks

To Alex for figuring all this out in the first place and writing the script

vprocess.sh

#!/bin/zsh
set -xe

language=Turkish
model_size=large

filenamefunc () {
for file in input/*; do
    echo "$(date) ---------- starting whisper ----------"
    whisper --model $model_size "$file" --language $language  --task translate --fp16 False
    echo "$(date) ---------- starting ffmpeg ----------"
    ffmpeg -i "$file" -vf subtitles="$(basename "$file")".srt output/"$(basename "$file" .mp4)"_engsub.mp4
done
}

cleanup () {
for file in input/*; do
	rm -rf "$(basename "$file")".srt
	rm -rf "$(basename "$file")".vtt
	rm -rf "$(basename "$file")".txt
	rm -rf "$(basename "$file")".json
	rm -rf "$(basename "$file")".tsv
