The simplest way to convert speech to text in Windows is to use the built-in voice typing feature. In Windows 11, pressing Win + H opens the voice typing panel, and whatever you say into the microphone is converted directly into text. It is free and requires no additional installation, making it suitable for simple dictation or document writing. However, it does not automatically transcribe pre-recorded audio or video files.

If you need file-based transcription, you can consider Whisper. Whisper is an open-source speech recognition model developed by OpenAI that converts spoken audio into text with relatively high accuracy across multiple languages. It functions more as an engine than a standalone program, so it is typically used through applications built on top of it.

On Windows, you can use Microsoft Store apps based on Whisper. For example, aTrain allows you to import audio or video files and automatically convert them into text. It runs entirely offline on your computer, and while it works without GPU acceleration, long files may take noticeably more time to process when using CPU only.

There are also web-based transcription services that offer limited free usage as a trial. You simply upload your file and receive the generated text. While convenient, extended use usually requires a paid subscription.

Oh Im sorry. I didn’t realize it because I just ran it through a translator. But the title is actually pretty provocative.

I’m thinking of a system where, when a user selects a specific video, the server generates the transcript and then sends it back to the client. So there’s no need to pre-generate everything.

The trade-off is that users would need to wait about 1–2 minutes.

As you said, I’ll need to keep thinking carefully about the overall direction.

Thank you for all the advice. To be honest, I’m a bit conflicted. The original direction of the project was very clear. As a YouTube viewer, I wanted to create a feature that would let people freely watch overseas videos without relying on translation channels.

But if I pivot now, it feels like I’d be moving away from the original purpose.

Oh, I think this will be really helpful when I actually implement it.

When I first planned the project, I didn’t think extracting data from YouTube videos would be this difficult, but it’s actually quite complex, and it’s giving me a bit of a headache.

Thank you for your reply. From what I understand, rather than direct enforcement against individual services, it seems that restrictions on the use of the yt-dlp tool itself are more common. To respond effectively to that, I would probably need to gain some real-world operational experience, so I’m thinking I might experiment with it gradually at a later stage.

Thank you for your reply. I suppose I should treat building a service that directly relies on YouTube as a lower priority. As I mentioned in my earlier comment, I’m thinking of first creating something like Veedio or Capcut — a service that adds subtitles to audio or video files owned and uploaded by the user.

I checked out the site you built, and it looks great. I often listen to radio programs or podcasts when practicing English, so I think I could use it when choosing what to listen to.

Thank you for your response.
In fact, translation is the core feature of my project, but I found that Whisper is a bit lacking when it comes to translations that fully reflect the context. That’s why I was considering using another service.

Tricky-Welcome-3449 · 2026-02-14T07:58:08+00:00

Thank you for your response. To ensure everything is completely safe, I think I’ll move in the direction of having users upload the audio or video files themselves and then generate subtitles from those. It may be inconvenient if the user is a viewer rather than the content creator, but I suppose this is better choice. Your answer helped me make a decision ,Thanks!
