Is there any program that can transcript what is being said in a video?

[doctore11]

Hi guys, sorry for my english, i need a program that can transcript what is being said in a video, does this kind of program exist??

Are you after subtitles for movies or video?

I recommend using a Video Player like VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
and then finding subtitles software (take ages creating your own and synch with the video) or just download premade subtitles from a site like opensubtitles.

The subtitle file is a '.srt' normally for example 'moviename.en.srt' (for english subtitles) and placed next to or in the same container as the movie. Links to the movie with the same filename and you should be able to toggle it on and off when playing, or pick from different languages.

All it basically is text sentences in whatever language and a start-end time for each to display (synchronzing with the movie). You could use software like Time Adjuster 3.1 to create/adjust the time what text displays.

Thanks for the answer, but no im not looking for subtitles, the program im looking for might not exist, im looking for one of those "speech to text" programs like "naturally speaking", but the one i want is one that can type what is being said in the video, the only programs i found are those that you talk in the microphone and the program types it.
i doubt this program exist but just wanted confirmation, thanks for the help guys

You are right; it doesn't.

You could use Dragon Naturally Speaking while playing the video.

You mean repeat the dialogue out loud into a microphone? ("dialog" in the barbarian parts of the world)

While kpac's suggestion is somewhat intriguing (big smiley acknowledged) i do see some probable downsides to it.
1.Speech recognition can take some time to "adjust" to the specific voice characteristics of the user.IE: i could take a while before it recognizes the individual characteristics of kpac's unique voice until it starts to make fewer (never will achieve 100%) errors.
2.Videos traditionally contain "many" voices.So very unlikely anything approaching acceptable quality translation will ever be attainable.
3.Videos (for effect) usually contain all kinds of "sound effects" so these will i suspect serve to confuse the speech recognition process.
    Otherwise a great idea.

yh.. i think windows vista or windows 7 inbuilt   speech recoginition   can help you.....
install windows 7 or windows vista
go to cantrol pannel select it......
but it require high quality microphone.........

but it require high quality microphone.........

Did you even read the thread above?

If it's going to work, and that's a big IF, for the reasons truenorth stated.  You could take the audio output of the video and run into microphone input.  It might even take two computers, one to play the video, and one to use something like Naturally Speaking.

It's up to you if you want to spend the money on something that may or may work.

[Salmon Trout]

The IF is much too big to be practical, in my opinion. There is no magic speech recognition program. You have to train Naturally Speaking to recognise each voice to be used. This is done by reading training texts and correcting the transcribed result. Even then, results are patchy. If the person who trains it gets a cold it fails. So expecting it to recognise an arbitrary voice on a video soundtrack is ridiculous.

Wouldn't you need a seperate PC  for every actor ? ?
