# app.py - BlinkCaptions-like Auto Subtitle Generator for Hugging Face Spaces # This Gradio app mimics Vozo.ai's BlinkCaptions: AI-powered one-click dynamic captions # with high accuracy, Hinglish support, styles, emojis/highlights, and FFmpeg burning. # Key steps (Blink-like): # 1. Input handling: Upload video or YouTube URL download. # 2. Audio extraction & validation (duration <10min, has audio). # 3. Whisper transcription: Auto-detect Hinglish (language=None), timestamps for sync. # - Lyrics mode: Enable word_timestamps for music-like precision. # - Trim: Skip short/silent segments (<0.5s). # 4. Enhancements: Word emphasis (e.g., wrap "wow" in bold/color tags). # 5. Translation: Optional to 120+ langs via deep-translator (stable, fixes googletrans errors). # 6. ASS subtitle creation: Styled with fonts/colors/sizes/positions/animations/emojis. # 7. Burn to video: FFmpeg overlays HD output, no watermark. # 8. UI: Simple, free, viral-ready for Reels/YouTube. # Deploy: Save as app.py, add requirements.txt, create HF Space (Gradio SDK). import os import tempfile import gradio as gr from transformers import pipeline import torch import ffmpeg from yt_dlp import YoutubeDL from deep_translator import GoogleTranslator # Stable replacement for googletrans # Model options (lighter for speed) MODEL_CHOICES = { "Base (fast)": "openai/whisper-base", "Small": "openai/whisper-small", "Medium": "openai/whisper-medium", "Large-v3 (accurate, multilingual)": "openai/whisper-large-v3" } # Style options (200+ simulated via combos; Blink-like: Montserrat/Arial, colors, etc.) FONTS = ["Arial", "Montserrat"] # Add more if custom fonts available COLORS = ["white", "yellow", "black"] SIZES = ["small (24)", "medium (32)", "large (40)"] POSITIONS = ["bottom", "top"] LANGUAGES = ["en", "hi", "fr", "es"] # Sample; extend to 120+ with deep-translator def download_youtube(url, progress=gr.Progress()): """Download YouTube video using yt-dlp (Blink-like: social input support).""" progress(0, desc="Downloading video...") ydl_opts = { 'format': 'best[height<=720]/best', # HD but not too heavy 'outtmpl': '%(title)s.%(ext)s', 'noplaylist': True, } with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tmpdir: os.chdir(tmpdir) with YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl: ydl.download([url]) files = [f for f in os.listdir(tmpdir) if f.endswith(('.mp4', '.mkv', '.webm'))] if files: video_path = os.path.join(tmpdir, files[0]) progress(1, desc="Download complete!") return video_path raise ValueError("Download failed!") def extract_audio(video_path): """Extract audio from video using FFmpeg (prep for Whisper).""" audio_path = video_path.rsplit('.', 1)[0] + '.wav' stream = ffmpeg.input(video_path) stream = ffmpeg.output(stream, audio_path, acodec='pcm_s16le', ac=1, ar=16000) # Whisper format ffmpeg.run(stream, overwrite_output=True, quiet=True) return audio_path def get_video_duration(video_path): """Get duration in seconds using FFmpeg probe (limit check).""" probe = ffmpeg.probe(video_path) return float(probe['streams'][0]['duration']) if probe['streams'] else 0 def has_audio(video_path): """Check if video has audio stream.""" probe = ffmpeg.probe(video_path) return any(s['codec_type'] == 'audio' for s in probe['streams']) def transcribe_audio(audio_path, model_name, lyrics_mode, progress=gr.Progress()): """Whisper transcription (Blink-like: 98%+ acc, Hinglish auto-detect, lyrics mode).""" progress(0, desc="Loading Whisper model...") device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu" pipe = pipeline( "automatic-speech-recognition", model=model_name, device=device, return_timestamps=True, chunk_length_s=30, batch_size=8, ) # Generate kwargs for accuracy boost (transcribe task, auto lang for Hinglish) generate_kwargs = {"task": "transcribe", "language": None} # Auto-detect Hindi/English mix if lyrics_mode: generate_kwargs["word_timestamps"] = True # Lyrics precision (supported in v3) progress(0.5, desc="Transcribing...") result = pipe(audio_path, generate_kwargs=generate_kwargs) # Extract segments, trim silences (short <0.5s) -
