Some people don't understand power of CLI, they want useless GUI. So I added One Click Transcribe.bat to a pack.

How to utilize it:

1. Press the right mouse button on the "One Click Transcribe.bat" file.
2. Then in the context menu select Send To > Desktop (create shortcut) to create a shortcut on your Desktop.

Now you can drag and drop file or files or folder onto this shortcut to do automatic one click transcriptions.

"One Click Transcribe.bat" is just a text file, you can edit it with Notepad and add there the settings you prefer.

Note:

When task is to transcribe then language should be set to activate custom prompt presets, so if you leave it on auto then those presets won't be activated and transcription result may have worse punctuation ect.

Linux steps

1. Open terminal in the same folder where executable is.
2. Copy/paste the command below and press Enter, a shortcut should appear on a Desktop:

chmod +x faster-whisper-xxl

cat <<EOF > ~/Desktop/One_Click_Transcribe.desktop

[vimbackground]

thx, where is the file?

[Purfview]

In the r194.2 release.

[defaultsecurity]

Awesome. You have read my mind. I was just about to write such a script. Impeccable timing and the script is excellent. Thank you very much.

[dragokas]

How can I send pull request for this script? It has parsing bug.

[Purfview]

Post here about it and the fix.

[dragokas]

You're trying to make each argument to be safe by enquoting, but this construction is unsafe itself: for %%F in (%*)

Fixing:

• Crash on filenames having "(", ")" characters.
• Unable to process filenames with "!" characters.
• Possible current path issues.

Code:

@echo off

Thx. I'll add fixes in the next version.

Hi,

Thanks for this option. I tried to get it working with just my old batch file but it didn't want to play nice.

Could someone please help me tweak the one click batch file to output similar to what this older one did, plus speaker diarization?

C:\Users\David\Downloads\Faster-Whisper-XXL_r192.3.4_windows\Faster-Whisper-XXL\faster-whisper-xxl.exe "C:\Users\David\Documents\SoundRecordMp3\SoundRecordMp3\bin\Debug\Output" --language=en --model=medium --batch_recursive --beam_size=1 --output_format text --output_dir "C:\Users\David\Documents\SoundRecordMp3\SoundRecordMp3\bin\Debug\Output"

If I'm dragging the folder onto the batch file, I imagine I don't need the first line (where the .exe file resides) or the folder where the files I want are. The options, though, I'm a little confused where to put them in the batch. My gut is to replace

faster-whisper-xxl.exe %file_list% -pp -o source --batch_recursive --check_files --standard -f json srt -m medium

at the bottom of the text file with everything from --language on, adding the --diarize filter, but I'm not sure if the other stuff has changed between 192.3.4 and 245.2.0.0.

The core things I want are to output as a .text file in that particular output folder, and to have diarization enabled for at least english. Thank you

[Purfview]

If I'm dragging the folder onto the batch file,

Don't drop onto the bat file directly, drop onto its shortcut.

Try this:

faster-whisper-xxl.exe %file_list% -o source -br -bs 1 -f text -m medium -l en --diarize pyannote_v3.0

[Soeroah]

Right, the shortcut, that's what I meant

Thank you, I'll give that a try once it finishes downloading and installing the first time models

[Purfview]

downloading and installing the first time models

You don't need to re-download them, just copy the old ones.

Btw, I didn't included these commands: -pp --check_files --standard, and you may want to use --sentence

--beam_size=1

I guess you use this option [short version of it: -bs 1 ] because you run it on CPU, try --batched mode to make it faster.
Note: --batched is not related to batch file processing.

[Soeroah]

So the whole command should be

faster-whisper-xxl.exe %file_list% -o source -br -bs 1 -f text -m medium -l en --diarize pyannote_v3.0 -pp --check_files --standard --sentence --beam_size=1 --batched

Is that right?

And ah, I didn't know about copying the old models, but I don't know where those are installed or where to put them either and I'm up to 70% progress now

[Purfview]

Is that right?

If you use --standard then --sentence is redundant.
You are using --beam_size=1 twice as -bs 1 is the same thing.

I didn't know about copying the old models, but I don't know where those are installed or where to put them either

Models are at a "exe" file, in "_models" folder.

So how is this better than a GUI where you could just drop a file and be done? This is like Egyptian hieroglyphics.

So how is this better than a GUI where you could just drop a file and be done?

GUI would be "Three-Clicks", so you can do the math on how much better "One-Click" is. 😁

This is like Egyptian hieroglyphics.

This is just basic computer usage. What difficulties do you have with it?

[Purfview]

Maybe you'll like "Two-Clicks" context menu tool -> #539

[ManekiNeko-89]

Hello. Sorry at bother you, but how do we get the transcript translated using this method/tool, please?

[Purfview]

Add --task translate to the command

[ManekiNeko-89]

Add --task translate to the command

You mean if I open the .bat file in Notepad++?

Because I can't typed anything if I open the bat file or drag a video onto it.

[Purfview]

You mean if I open the .bat file in Notepad++?

Yes.

[ManekiNeko-89]

You mean if I open the .bat file in Notepad++?

Yes.

Alright, thank you so much for your kindness in taking the time to answer my questions.
