Autosub is a Python command-line utility that auto-generates subtitles for video or audio files. It performs voice activity detection, transcribes speech via the Google Web Speech API, optionally translates the result, and writes SRT or JSON subtitle files.

Use cases

• generate subtitles for a video automatically
• transcribe audio to srt file
• add captions to a video with speech recognition
• translate video subtitles to another language
• batch subtitle generation from command line

When to choose

• you need a quick CLI way to produce SRT subtitles from media files
• you want optional subtitle translation via Google Translate API
• you prefer a simple pip-installable tool with ffmpeg as the only dependency

When to avoid

• you need a maintained tool - the project is explicitly no longer maintained
• you need offline or self-hosted speech recognition since it depends on Google's web API
• you need high accuracy on long or noisy audio, as the API is unofficial and unreliable
