The video transcription happens when you Update a video and set its language.
The process is executed in the background and, in our tests, lasted for half the time of the video.
For example, it took approximately 5 minutes to transcript a 10 minutes long video.
There are currently no notifications to warn the user when the process is over (see Chocobozzz/PeerTube#5076. If it succeeded, a caption should be present in the Captions tab of the video edition page.
If not, feel free to fill an issue.
By default, a light language training model is used, so you may be disappointed by the quality of the transcript and may wish to choose a larger model for better results (see below).
Settings
From the transcription plugin settings page, you may choose a language training model for the available languages.
You'll probably need to configure only the few you'll be using on your instance since some of them may weight up to 2 Gb!
Only languages with available training are currently proposed. Checkout the following page for a better description of each available models: https://alphacephei.com/vosk/models
