##  Core Features

> [Technical Architecture and Principles](https://github.com/jianchang512/pyvideotrans/blob/HEAD/docs/architecture.md)

- **Fully Automatic Video Translation**: One-click workflow: Speech Recognition (ASR) → Subtitle Translation → Speech Synthesis (TTS) → Video Synthesis.
- **Audio Transcription / Subtitle Generation**: Batch convert audio/video to SRT subtitles, supporting **Speaker Diarization** to distinguish between different roles.
- **️Multi-Role AI Dubbing**: Assign different AI dubbing voices to different speakers.
- **Voice Cloning**: Integrates models like **F5-TTS, CosyVoice, GPT-SoVITS** for zero-shot voice cloning.
- **Powerful Model Support**:
  - **ASR**: Faster-Whisper (Local), OpenAI Whisper, Alibaba Qwen, ByteDance Volcano, Azure, Google, etc.
  - **LLM Translation**: DeepSeek, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, MiniMax, Ollama (Local), Alibaba Bailian, etc.
  - **TTS**: Edge-TTS (Free), OpenAI, Azure, Minimaxi, ChatTTS, ChatterBox, etc.
- **️Interactive Editing**: Supports pausing and manual proofreading at each stage (recognition, translation, dubbing) to ensure accuracy.
- **️Utility Toolkit**: Includes auxiliary tools such as vocal separation, video/subtitle merging, audio-video alignment, and transcript matching.
- **Command Line Interface (CLI)**: Supports headless operation, convenient for server deployment or batch processing.
- **Web Interface (WebUI)**: Browser-based interface for remote access or internal network deployment.

##  Quick Start (Windows Users)

We provide a pre-packaged `.exe` version for Windows 10/11 users, requiring no Python environment configuration.

1. **Download**: [Click to download the latest pre-packaged version](https://github.com/jianchang512/pyvideotrans/releases)
2. **Unzip**: Extract the compressed file to a path without Chinese characters or spaces (e.g., `D:\pyVideoTrans`).
3. **Run**: Double-click `sp.exe` inside the folder to launch.

> **Note**:
> * Do not run directly from within the compressed archive.
> * To use GPU acceleration(NVIDIA GPU only), ensure **CUDA 12.8** and **cuDNN 9.11** are installed.

---

## ️ Source Deployment (macOS / Linux / Windows Developers)

We recommend using **[`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)** for package management for faster speed and better environment isolation.

### 1. Prerequisites

* **Python**: Recommended version 3.10
* **FFmpeg**: Must be installed and configured in the environment variables.
  * **macOS**: 
  ```
    brew install libsndfile  git  python@3.10
	
	brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies ffmpeg
	
	brew tap homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg
	
	brew install homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg
  ```
  * **Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)**: `sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libsndfile1-dev`
  * **Windows**: [Download FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html) and configure Path, or place `ffmpeg.exe` and `ffprobe.exe` directly in the project directory.

### 2. Install uv (If not installed)

```bash
# macOS/Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Windows (PowerShell)
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
```

### 3. Clone and Install

```bash
git clone https://github.com/jianchang512/pyvideotrans.git
cd pyvideotrans
uv sync
```

> By default, `whisper.net` and `WebUI` are not installed locally.
> - To install all optional channels: `uv sync --all-extras`
> - To install whisper.net: `uv sync --extra dotnet` 
> - To install WebUI: `uv sync --extra webui` 

### 4. Launch Software

**GUI**:
```bash
uv run sp.py
```

**CLI**:
```bash
# Video Translation
uv run cli.py --task vtv --name "./video.mp4" --source_language_code zh-cn --target_language_code en --voice_role "en-US-GuyNeural"

# Audio to Subtitle
uv run cli.py --task stt --name "./audio.wav" --model_name large-v3

# Subtitle Translation
uv run cli.py --task sts --name "./subs.srt" --target_language_code en

# Text to Speech
uv run cli.py --task tts --name "./subs.srt" --voice_role "zh-CN-YunyangNeural"
```

> [CLI documentation with all parameters](https://github.com/jianchang512/pyvideotrans/blob/HEAD/docs/cli.md)

**WebUI** (for remote/internal network access):
```bash
uv sync --extra webui
uv run webui.py
```


**Docker** (containerized deployment):
```bash
# Build
docker build -t pyvideotrans-webui .

# Run
docker run -d -p 7860:7860 --name pyvideotrans pyvideotrans-webui

# With persistent config and output
docker run -d -p 7860:7860 \
  -v ./data/output:/app/output \
  -v ./data/config:/app/videotrans \
  --name pyvideotrans pyvideotrans-webui
```

> [WebUI documentation](https://github.com/jianchang512/pyvideotrans/blob/HEAD/docs/webui.md)

### 5. (Optional) NVIDIA GPU Acceleration Configuration

If you have an NVIDIA graphics card, execute the following commands to install the CUDA-supported PyTorch version:

```bash
# Uninstall CPU version
uv remove torch torchaudio

# Install CUDA version (Example for CUDA 12.x)
uv add torch==2.7 torchaudio==2.7 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128
uv add nvidia-cublas-cu12 nvidia-cudnn-cu12
```
