| Tiger | |
| ===== | |
| __Tiger__ is an automatic speech recognition application that takes a video file as input and generates a video with | |
| subtitles as well as downloadable .txt, .vtt, .srt transcription files. Tiger generates transcriptions using the | |
| [OpenAI Whisper](https://openai.com/blog/whisper) models. | |
| The app is available on [🤗 Hugging Face space][Project Tiger on Hugging Face]. Please check it out. | |
| How Project Tiger Started | |
| ------------------------- | |
| I don't believe NLP is inherently AI. [Project Tiger](), however, enlightened me on what way should AI makes NLP more | |
| powerful for people. | |
| Paraphrasing movie lines has been my favorite approach to learn a foreign language. This was why I was able to speak | |
| close-native English in early days. I used this same tactic for German today as well. | |
| One morning I was studying German with the famous German WW2 movie | |
| [_Generation War_](https://youtu.be/8s_0QteDapc?si=usMdIbY5Skfz0u1q). Managing to find its subtitles[^1][^2][^3] were | |
| easy for me. A problem, however, soon arose as I proceeded with them: _the subtitles had errors - missing couple of | |
| phrases every few other lines_. This was a big NO for language learners like me. In old days 10 years ago, I would've | |
| reached a dead end... | |

| Almost immediately, however, I had this idea of having AI figure out those missing words for me; so I tried | |
| [OpenAI's Whisper](https://huggingface.co/spaces/openai/whisper) which, quite surprisingly, yield 100% accurate results. | |
| That was the first occasion where AI produced significant solid values for my life as a language learner. | |
| Being so excited, I decided to industrialize this process and hereby present it as [Project Tiger on Hugging Face], an | |
| __AI movie transcription service that targets specifically for language learners__ | |
| > [!NOTE] | |
| > | |
| > On name "__Tiger__" | |
| > | |
| > The project name _tiger_ was taken from the _German heavy tank of World War II - | |
| > [Tiger I](https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/germany/panzer-vi_tiger.php#index17)_. | |
| > | |
| > I chose this name because the project idea was spawned from the study of German language. More importantly, _Tiger I_ | |
| > has been widely recognized as a revolutionary tank being a crown jewels in the history of warfare technology: | |
| > | |
| > > _"It is tempting to view the appearance of the Tiger tank as revolutionary, ... the end result was a machine that | |
| > > represented a quantum leap forward in tank design and changed everything - forever"_[^4] | |
| > | |
| > As _Tiger_ had steered the direction of next-generation heavy tank, this project has also revolutionized my view | |
| > toward AI subconsciously and serves as an empirical guide on how I should make NLP more powerful for people with AI. | |
