Autocut is a text-based video editor and automatic speech recognition tool. It allows users to cut and merge video clips by modifying a text transcript instead of using a traditional timeline.
The system operates as an FFmpeg video processor and subtitle manipulation utility. It converts spoken audio into text and compacts subtitle files into simplified formats, enabling the removal of unwanted video segments by deleting corresponding sentences from a transcription file.
The project covers automated video transcription, non-linear video cutting, and subtitle file management. It supports hardware acceleration to increase the processing speed of transcription and video manipulation tasks.
