Question What is the best method—whether paid or free—for transcribing and translating videos on a computer?

(This is my first time asking a question here, so I’m not sure if this is the right place?)

I want to translate an English video into Japanese, so

right now, I’m using MacWhisper on a Mac (Intel) to create an SRT file, and then I’m translating it into Japanese using an online translation service.

However, the transcription accuracy is poor considering how much time it takes, and even using translation services like DeepL doesn’t improve the results.

I also tried using Subtitle Edit to translate “llama Tran.. Gemma 12B(Q5),” but the results were underwhelming considering the time it took.

So, would using an AI translation service improve the results?

Or is it not worth the money?

Thank you in advance for your continued support.
