How does it work?

This program performs fetching using YouTube-dl for downloading videos from video services, and then stripping the audio track out.

static_ffmpeg is then called to transcode the audio track into a specific format that DeepSpeech requires.

Once the audio file has been prepared, pydeepspeech is called. This little utility automatically downloads the proper AI models and installs them into the proper path so that deepspeech can be called. It also partitions the input wav file into chunks, split at the parts of silence, in order to make processing go easier (DeepSpeech degrades performance significantly with longer audio clips, so they have to be kept short.)
