Input srt file into Amazon Polly

Question

Hi,

I am looking for a tool that automatically converts a srt or vtt file into audio.

I have a video and a srt file. I would like to automatically create the voice-over from the srt files as I would like to keep the pauses and the rhythm of the speaker.

How can I do that? Can Amazon Polly read srt files?

Answer

Hi User,

You may try using an additional library 'MoviePy' to help input SRT files to AWS Polly. Here is an article where this step had been used:

Hope it helps!

How can add the srt files to convert it into audio?

I don't have the plain transcript.

Answer

Amazon polly does support SRT files. Another alternative is the copy and paste the transcript into the text field.
