Ask HN: Open-source video transcribing software?
Hello all, I need to transcribe some text from a video, and would like recommendations for any software you know of that would be free to use?
Thanks!

With the audio sources I had, in English, the transcription had many mistakes. The good side is that installing and running the software worked as described in their documentation, so maybe it’s worth giving it a try by yourself.
Free: Just upload them to private YouTube videos and Google will transcribe it for you. You can then manually refine the captions and download the files afterward.
How can it be used for transcription?
In their website I only see an interface for either uploading audio or submitting transcriptions:
https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/es
The Github repo they mention (https://github.com/common-voice/common-voice) seems to be just that sample collection software. I do not see where I can download the software to transcribe audio.
Edit: All right, the speech recognition part is actually called DeepSpeech: https://opensource.com/article/22/1/voice-text-mozilla-deeps... https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech
