# TextCut

Edit videos by simply editing their transcript. Upload a video, get an automatic transcription with timestamps using VibeVoice-ASR, then delete lines from the transcript to cut those parts from your video.

## Features

- **Automatic Transcription**: Uses Microsoft's VibeVoice-ASR model for accurate speech-to-text with timestamps
- **Real-time Highlighting**: Current sentence is highlighted (uppercased) as the video plays
- **Simple Editing**: Delete lines from the transcript to mark segments for removal
- **Video Cutting**: Automatically cuts the video based on deleted transcript segments using FFmpeg

## Usage

1. **Upload**: Upload a video file (mp4, mov, etc.)
2. **Transcribe**: Click "Transcribe" to generate the transcript with timestamps
3. **Edit**: Delete lines from the transcript that you want to cut from the video
4. **Apply Cuts**: Click "Apply Cuts" to generate the edited video

## Requirements

- Python 3.10+
- FFmpeg installed on the system
- CUDA-capable GPU (for transcription)

## Local Development
