如何将字幕文件转换为每个字幕只有一个句子?

标签: python regex python-3.x regex-greedy subtitle

我正在尝试编写一种转换字幕文件的方法,以便每个字幕总是只有一个句子

我的想法如下:

1。对于每个字幕:

1.1->我得到了字幕的持续时间

1.2->计算characters_per_second

1.3->使用它来存储dict_times_word_subtitle一词所花费的时间(在i内)

2。我从entire text

中提取句子

3。对于每个句子:

3.1我存储(在dict_sentences_subtitle内)说出带有特定单词的句子所花费的时间(从中我可以得到说出它们的持续时间)

4。 我创建了一个新的srt文件 (字幕文件),该文件与然后,可以从说句子所需的时间中获取原始的srt文件和字幕时间。

目前,我已编写以下代码:

#---------------------------------------------------------
import pysrt
import re
from datetime import datetime, date, time, timedelta
#---------------------------------------------------------


def convert_subtitle_one_sentence(file_name):

    sub = pysrt.open(file_name)   

    ### ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    ### Store Each Word and the Average Time it Takes to Say it in a Dictionarry
    ### ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    dict_times_word_subtitle = {}
    running_variable = 0
    for i in range(len(sub)):

        subtitle_text = sub[i].text
        subtitle_duration = (datetime.combine(date.min, sub[i].duration.to_time()) - datetime.min).total_seconds()

        # Compute characters per second
        characters_per_second = len(subtitle_text)/subtitle_duration

        # Store Each Word and the Average Time (seconds) it Takes to Say in a Dictionarry 

        for j,word in enumerate(subtitle_text.split()):
            if j == len(subtitle_text.split())-1:
                time = len(word)/characters_per_second
            else:
                time = len(word+" ")/characters_per_second

            dict_times_word_subtitle[str(running_variable)] = [word, time]
            running_variable += 1


    ### ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    ### Store Each Sentence and the Average Time to Say it in a Dictionarry
    ### ----------------------------------------------------------------------  

    total_number_of_words = len(dict_times_word_subtitle.keys())

    # Get the entire text
    entire_text = ""
    for i in range(total_number_of_words):
        entire_text += dict_times_word_subtitle[str(i)][0] +" "


    # Initialize the dictionary 
    dict_times_sentences_subtitle = {}

    # Loop through all found sentences 
    last_number_of_words = 0
    for i,sentence in enumerate(re.findall(r'([A-Z][^\.!?]*[\.!?])', entire_text)):

        number_of_words = len(sentence.split())

        # Compute the time it takes to speak the sentence
        time_sentence = 0
        for j in range(last_number_of_words, last_number_of_words + number_of_words):
            time_sentence += dict_times_word_subtitle[str(j)][1] 

        # Store the sentence together with the time it takes to say the sentence
        dict_times_sentences_subtitle[str(i)] = [sentence, round(time_sentence,3)]

        ## Update last number_of_words
        last_number_of_words += number_of_words

    # Check if there is a non-sentence remaining at the end
    if j < total_number_of_words:
        remaining_string = ""
        remaining_string_time = 0
        for k in range(j+1, total_number_of_words):
            remaining_string += dict_times_word_subtitle[str(k)][0] + " "
            remaining_string_time += dict_times_word_subtitle[str(k)][1]

        dict_times_sentences_subtitle[str(i+1)] = [remaining_string, remaining_string_time]

    ### ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    ### Create a new Subtitle file with only 1 sentence at a time
    ### ----------------------------------------------------------------------  

    # Initalize new srt file
    new_srt = pysrt.SubRipFile()

    # Loop through all sentence
    # get initial start time (seconds)
    # https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44823073/convert-datetime-time-to-seconds
    start_time = (datetime.combine(date.min, sub[0].start.to_time()) - datetime.min).total_seconds()

    for i in range(len(dict_times_sentences_subtitle.keys())):


        sentence = dict_times_sentences_subtitle[str(i)][0]
        print(sentence)
        time_sentence = dict_times_sentences_subtitle[str(i)][1]
        print(time_sentence)
        item = pysrt.SubRipItem(
                        index=i,
                        start=pysrt.SubRipTime(seconds=start_time),
                        end=pysrt.SubRipTime(seconds=start_time+time_sentence),
                        text=sentence)

        new_srt.append(item)

        ## Update Start Time
        start_time += time_sentence

    new_srt.save(file_name)

问题:

没有错误消息,但是当我将其应用于真实的字幕文件然后观看视频时,字幕正确开始,但是随着视频的进行(错误进行),字幕与实际所说的越来越少了。

示例:演讲者已经结束了演讲,但字幕不断出现。

您可以看到原始的上一个时间戳为00:00:29,800,而在输出文件中为00:00:29,859。在开始时这似乎并不多,但是随着视频时间的延长,差异会越来越大。

完整的字幕文件:https://ufile.io/qracb7ai

!注意:字幕文件将被覆盖,因此您可能需要存储具有其他名称的副本以进行比较。

任何解决此问题的帮助都将非常受欢迎!

确定如何解决的方法:

  • 已知以原始字幕开头或结尾的单词的确切时间。这可用于交叉检查并相应地调整时间。

编辑:

这里是创建字典的代码,该字典存储字符,character_duration(字幕的平均数)以及开始或结束原始时间余弦(如果该时间余弦存在)。

sub = pysrt.open('video.srt')

running_variable = 0
dict_subtitle = {}

for i in range(len(sub)):

可能不是您想要的,而是要计算时间,为什么不直接将它们从字幕文件本身中取出。
我以这个为例。从长远来看,它并不完美,但可能会有所帮助。

编辑: 幸运的是,我坚持使用这段代码,因为这个问题引起了我的兴趣。
尽管我很欣赏它是hackey,并且不使用pysrt字幕模块,而只是使用re,但我相信在这种情况下,它做的还不错。
我已经评论了编辑后的代码,因此希望可以清楚我在做什么以及为什么。
regx正在寻找时间戳格式0:00:0,000、00:00:00,000、0:00:00,000等,即

\d{1,2}(?::\d{2}){1,2}(?:,)\d{3}

1或2个小数,后跟::加2个小数,然后::加1或2个小数,然后是:,然后是3个小数

如果一个连接的句子中有多个开始和结束时间,则对于整个句子,我们只需要第一个句子开始时间,最后一个句子结束时间。我希望这很清楚。

编辑2 此版本可处理数学和化学公式中的句号,以及ip编号等。基本上,句号并不代表句号的地方。

答案 1 :(得分:3)

我已根据请求重新编码以依赖pysrt程序包和re的smigeon。
这个想法是基于start_times建立字典。

如果存在开始时间,则将数据添加到该时间的条目中,但是end_time同时更新,因此结束时间随文本而增加。

如果没有开始时间,则只是一个新的字典条目。

只有当我们知道句子已完成时,开始时间才会提前。

因此,从本质上讲,我们开始构建具有固定开始时间的句子。通过添加更多文本并更新结束时间,继续构建句子,直到句子结束。在这里,我们使用当前记录(我们知道这是一个新句子)来提前开始时间。

具有多个句子的字幕条目被分解,在分解之前,使用整个整个字幕条目的pysrt character_per_second条目计算开始时间和结束时间。

最后,将新的字幕文件从字典中的条目写入磁盘。

很明显,只有一个文件可以播放,我很可能会错过一些字幕布局方面的障碍,但这至少可以为您提供一个可行的起点。

该代码在整个注释中都有注释,因此大多数事情应该清楚如何以及为什么。

编辑: 我改进了对现有字典开始时间的检查,并更改了用于确定句子是否结束的方法,即在拆分后将句号重新放到文本中。
首先,您提到的第二个视频的字幕确实有些偏离,请注意,根本没有毫秒值。

以下代码在第二个视频上表现出色,而在第一个视频上表现出色。

编辑2:添加了连续的句号和html <>标记删除

编辑3:结果发现pysrt从计算中删除了html标记,用于显示每秒的字符数。我现在也这样做了,这意味着<html>格式可以保留在字幕中。

编辑4:此版本可处理数学和化学公式中的句号,以及ip编号等。基本上,句号并不代表句号的地方。 它还允许以?结尾的句子?和!

通过上述代码后,video.srt文件的输出如下:

1
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:27,280
Dr Martin Luther King, Jr, in a 1968 speech where he reflects
upon the Civil Rights Movement, states, "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends."

2
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,800
As a teacher, I've internalized this message.

3
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:39,701
Every day, all around us, we see the consequences of silence manifest themselves in the form of discrimination, violence, genocide and war.

4
00:00:39,701 --> 00:00:46,178
In the classroom, I challenge my students to explore the silences in their own lives through poetry.

5
00:00:46,178 --> 00:00:54,740
We work together to fill those spaces, to recognize them, to name them, to understand that they don't
have to be sources of shame.

6
00:00:54,740 --> 00:01:14,408
In an effort to create a culture within my classroom where students feel safe sharing the intimacies of their own silences, I have four core principles posted on the board that sits in the front of my class, which every student signs
at the beginning of the year: read critically, write consciously, speak clearly, tell your truth.

7
00:01:14,408 --> 00:01:18,871
And I find myself thinking a lot about that last point, tell your truth.

8
00:01:18,871 --> 00:01:28,848
And I realized that if I was going to ask my students to speak up, I was going to have to tell my truth and be honest with them about the times where I failed to do so.

9
00:01:28,848 --> 00:01:44,479
So I tell them that growing up, as a kid in a Catholic family in New Orleans, during Lent I was always taught that the most meaningful thing one could do was to give something up, sacrifice something you typically indulge in to prove to God you understand his sanctity.

10
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:50,183
I've given up soda, McDonald's, French fries, French kisses, and everything in between.

11
00:01:50,183 --> 00:01:54,071
But one year, I gave up speaking.

12
00:01:54,071 --> 00:02:03,286
I figured the most valuable thing I could sacrifice was my own voice, but it was like I hadn't realized that I had given that up a long time ago.

13
00:02:03,286 --> 00:02:23,167
I spent so much of my life telling people the things they wanted to hear instead of the things they needed to, told myself I wasn't meant to be anyone's conscience because I still had to figure out being my own, so sometimes I just wouldn't say anything, appeasing ignorance with my silence, unaware that validation doesn't need words to endorse its existence.

14
00:02:23,167 --> 00:02:29,000
When Christian was beat up for being gay, I put my hands in my pocket and walked with my head
down as if I didn't even notice.

15
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:39,502
I couldn't use my locker for weeks
because the bolt on the lock reminded me of the one I had put on my lips when the homeless man on the corner looked at me with eyes up merely searching for an affirmation that he was worth seeing.

16
00:02:39,502 --> 00:02:43,170
I was more concerned with
touching the screen on my Apple than actually feeding him one.

17
00:02:43,170 --> 00:02:46,049
When the woman at the fundraising gala said "I'm so proud of you.

18
00:02:46,049 --> 00:02:53,699
It must be so hard teaching
those poor, unintelligent kids," I bit my lip, because apparently
we needed her money more than my students needed their dignity.

19
00:02:53,699 --> 00:03:02,878
We spend so much time listening to the things people are saying that we rarely pay attention to the things they don't.

20
00:03:02,878 --> 00:03:06,139
Silence is the residue of fear.

21
00:03:06,139 --> 00:03:09,615
It is feeling your flaws gut-wrench guillotine your tongue.

22
00:03:09,615 --> 00:03:13,429
It is the air retreating from your chest because it doesn't feel safe in your lungs.

23
00:03:13,429 --> 00:03:15,186
Silence is Rwandan genocide.

24
00:03:15,186 --> 00:03:16,423
 Silence is Katrina.

25
00:03:16,553 --> 00:03:19,661
It is what you hear when there
aren't enough body bags left.

26
00:03:19,661 --> 00:03:22,062
It is the sound after the noose is already tied.

27
00:03:22,062 --> 00:03:22,870
It is charring.

28
00:03:22,870 --> 00:03:23,620
 It is chains.

29
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:24,543
 It is privilege.

30
00:03:24,543 --> 00:03:25,178
 It is pain.

31
00:03:25,409 --> 00:03:28,897
There is no time to pick your battles when your battles have already picked you.

32
00:03:28,897 --> 00:03:31,960
I will not let silence wrap itself around my indecision.

33
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,287
I will tell Christian that he is a lion, a sanctuary of bravery and brilliance.

34
00:03:36,287 --> 00:03:42,340
I will ask that homeless man what his name is and how his day was, because sometimes all people want to be is human.

35
00:03:42,340 --> 00:03:51,665
I will tell that woman that my students can talk about transcendentalism like their last name was Thoreau, and just because you watched
one episode of "The Wire" doesn't mean you know anything about my kids.

36
00:03:51,665 --> 00:04:03,825
So this year, instead of giving something up, I will live every day as if there were a microphone tucked under my tongue, a stage on the underside of my inhibition.

37
00:04:03,825 --> 00:04:10,207
Because who has to have a soapbox when all you've ever needed is your voice?

38
00:04:10,207 --> 00:04:12,712
Thank you.

39
00:04:12,712 --> 00:00:00,000
(Applause)
