Why "srt" option is disabled in the Import Transcript tool box?

eyal13579 opened this issue · comments

there are also other options that are grayed out - is that for future development? or with license?

Hi @eyal13579 ,
We have a separate app (that we might open source) to create subtitles, and been thinking about abstracting the segmentation module to generate srt from the transcript text, when we find the time.

So yes, srt is potential future development, as well as docx which we played around with in this proof of concept PR #125

We were also thinking whether there might also be the need to create an export UI component, similar to the settings one, to allow the user to export, from within the component.

Out of curiosity, Is there any specific format you were looking for? And what is your main use case?

I want to correct transcriptions parts that are with lower confidence. In SRT, I now get that there isn't the "confidence" part...

I am not sure I follow?

I mean - in SRT that is just utterances - there is no confidence score attached to each word (what's the probability that this is the right word that was said..)

Ah, I see, what would you be using to generate the transcription?

closing this for now, feel free to add any follow up questions.
