text2video

text2video is a tool that enables you to generate text-to-speech (TTS) audio, convert audio files into SRT subtitles, and create videos with embedded subtitles. It leverages the power of OpenAI's API for transcription and TTS functionalities.

Features

• Text-to-Speech (TTS) Generation: Converts text into speech and saves it as an MP3 file.
• Audio to SRT Conversion: Converts audio files (MP3) into SRT subtitle files.
• Create Video with Subtitles: Combines an MP3 file and an SRT file to create a video with embedded subtitles.
• Batch Text-to-Speech (TTS) Generation: Allows users to input multiple lines of text and generates an audio file for each line. Users can select from multiple voice characters and choose the audio file format (mp3, opus, aac, flac, pcm).

Usage

Text-to-Speech (TTS) Generation

1. Select the output folder for the generated MP3 files.
2. Enter the text you want to convert into speech.
3. Click the "Generate TTS" button.

Audio to SRT Conversion

1. Select the MP3 file you want to convert.
2. Click the "Convert to SRT" button.

Create Video with Subtitles

1. Select the SRT file and the MP3 file you want to combine.
2. Enter the video width, height, and font size for the subtitles.
3. Click the "Create Video with Subtitles" button.

Batch Text-to-Speech (TTS) Generation

1. Navigate to the "Batch TTS" page.
2. Enter multiple lines of text. To use a specific voice, prefix the text with the voice name followed by a colon. Allowed voices are: Alloy, Echo, Fable, Onyx, Nova, Shimmer. For example:

   Alloy: Hey, Nora! Did you hear about Goldman Sachs’ latest move into the digital asset space?
   Nova: Yeah, I did. It’s pretty exciting. They’re launching three new tokenization projects by the end of this year, right?
   

3. Select the output folder for the generated audio files.
4. Choose the desired audio file format from the dropdown menu.
5. Click the "Generate Audio Files" button.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Ensure you have ImageMagick and ffmpeg installed on your system, as it is required by moviepy for subtitle rendering.

Usage

Running the GUI

To start the GUI, run:

python main.py

Configuration

Before using the transcription and TTS features, you need to set your OpenAI API key. This can be done through the Settings page in the GUI.

Troubleshooting

Here's a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot the ImageMagick error and modify the policy settings:

Step-by-Step Guide to Modify ImageMagick Policy Settings

1. Identify the Error: If you encounter the error message indicating issues with ImageMagick not being installed or the path not being specified correctly, you need to adjust the policy settings.

   This error can be due to the fact that ImageMagick is not installed on your computer, or (for Windows users) that you didn't specify the path to the ImageMagick binary in the file conf.py, or that the path you specified is incorrect.

2. Open the Policy File: Use a text editor with superuser permissions to open the ImageMagick policy file. You can use vim or any other text editor you prefer.

   sudo vim /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml

3. Modify the Policy File: Locate the lines in the policy file that restrict read and write permissions. You will need to comment out the restrictive line and add permissions that suit your needs.

   <!-- in order to avoid to get image with password text -->
   <!-- comment this line -->
   <!-- <policy domain="path" rights="none" pattern="@*"/> -->
   
   <!-- let ImageMagick read/write all files -->
   <policy domain="path" rights="read|write" pattern="@*"/>
   <!-- or specify your project absolute path -->
   <policy domain="path" rights="read|write" pattern="/your_project_path*"/>

   • Comment Out Restrictive Line: This line is originally set to deny any read/write access. By commenting it out, you prevent this restriction from applying.
   • Grant Read/Write Permissions: Add a line that grants read and write permissions to all files or specify the exact path of your project.

4. Save and Exit: Save the changes and exit the text editor. In vim, you can do this by pressing Esc, typing :wq, and pressing Enter.

5. Verify Changes: Ensure that the changes are correctly saved and the file permissions are updated. You can reopen the file to verify.

6. Test ImageMagick: Run your project or the specific command that was failing to see if the issue is resolved.

Summary

• Open /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml with superuser permissions.
• Comment out the restrictive policy line.
• Add a policy line that grants read/write permissions to all files or to your specific project path.
• Save the changes and verify.
• Test to ensure the issue is resolved.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ImageMagick error related to read and write permissions.
