Re: Hebrew autocaptions

There's not a fully automated solution for Hebrew captions, but you can
use CMU Sphinx toolkit coupled with feeding the audio in and using that
as the source to let speech recognition convert the speech to text.
Then, correct as necessary, (CMU Sphinx is pretty good with Hebrew so
there shouldn't be overly much correction needed provided the audio is
clear), and then use the recognized text to manually generate your
caption files.


Hope this is at least somewhat helpful,
