Synchronize Whisper's timestamps over an existing accurate transcription
Input 1: SRT with good timestamps and bad-quality text
Input 2: good text-only, or SRT with good text and bad timestamps
Output: SRT with good text and good timestamps
Python version: https://github.com/EtienneAb3d/SRT-Sync
The "accurate transcriptions" may be obtained using WhisperHallu:

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag? Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? Do you ever feel, feel so paper-thin? Like a house apart, one blow from caving in? Do you ever feel already buried deep? Six feet under screens and no one seems to hear a thing. Do you know that there's still a chance for you? Because there's a spark in you. You just got to ignite the light and let it shine. Just own the night like the 4th of July. Cause baby you're a firework. Come on, show them what you're worth. Make them go ah, ah, ah, as you shoot across the sky. Baby, you're a firework. Come on, let your colors burst. Make them go ah, ah, ah. You're going to leave them all in awe, awe, awe. You don't have to feel like a wasted space. Your original cannot be replaced. If you only knew what the future holds. After a hurricane comes a rainbow. Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed. So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road. Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow. And when it's time, you'll know you just got to ignite the light and let it shine. Just own the night like the 4th of July. Cause baby you're a firework. Come on, show them what you're worth. Make them go ah, ah, ah, as you shoot across the sky. Baby, you're a firework. Come on, let your colors burst. Make them go ah, ah, ah. You're going to leave them all in awe, awe, awe. Boom, boom, boom. Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon. It's always been inside of you, you, you. And now it's time to let it through. Cause baby you're a firework. Come on, show them what you're worth. Make them go ah, ah, ah, as you shoot across the sky. Baby, you're a firework. Come on, let your colors burst. Make them go ah, ah, ah. You're going to leave them all in awe, awe, awe. Boom, boom, boom. Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon. Boom, boom, boom. Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon.

- Asian languages are processed char by char. An improvement may be done on the tokenizer in order to process them word by word.
- For large files, this aligner will be very time-consuming and RAM-consuming.
I have an other aligner being able to align Asian languages and large files. It is also able to do cross-lingual alignments. But, I won't release it as open-source. It is included in the ComPair Freeware: an universal cross-ligual document comparer.
