- Macron "Autres sont des menaces" (french)
- Macri: "Pobreza para nuestros docentes" (spanish)
It uses aeneas to syncronize the transcription and the input audio/video file (force align), using as many iterations as needed.
Another text define the remix script (i.e. "output speech"), using fragments of the input transcription. miau
cuts the proper parts and join each of them using moviepy.
A detailed blog post (in spanish) is here
miau
means meow
in spanish. It's a joke about the popular (pejorative) nickname assigned to Argentina's president Mauricio "Cat" Macri. As I started this tool to make fun of President Macri, this was a pretty obvious choice.
