How to extract audio from video in java

How to extract audio from video in java

I actually want to extract one audio file from a video file and then convert that audio file into text in further stage after which that text would be saved in a document .If anyone has worked on it or can provide some links ,please do so because i m searching but not getting any useful content.

Answer:

Certainly! To extract audio from a video file in Java, you can use the FFmpeg library, which is a powerful multimedia framework. FFmpeg provides various functions for working with multimedia files, including extracting audio.

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to extract audio from a video file using FFmpeg in Java:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

public class AudioExtractor {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String videoPath = "path/to/video.mp4";  // Replace with your video file path
        String outputPath = "path/to/output/audio.mp3";  // Replace with the desired output audio file path

        try {
            // Build FFmpeg command
            String[] cmd = {"ffmpeg", "-i", videoPath, "-vn", "-acodec", "copy", outputPath};

            // Run FFmpeg command
            Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);

            // Read FFmpeg output
            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getErrorStream()));
            String line;
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(line);
            }

            // Wait for FFmpeg to complete
            int exitCode = process.waitFor();
            if (exitCode == 0) {
                System.out.println("Audio extraction successful!");
            } else {
                System.out.println("Audio extraction failed!");
            }
        } catch (IOException | InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

In the code above, you need to replace the videoPath variable with the actual path to your video file and set the outputPath variable to the desired path for the extracted audio file. The FFmpeg command -vn specifies that only the audio should be extracted, and -acodec copy ensures that the audio is not re-encoded, maintaining its original format.

Once you have extracted the audio file, you can further process it to convert it into text using various speech-to-text libraries or services.

There are several options available, such as the Google Cloud Speech-to-Text API or the Mozilla DeepSpeech library.

Please note that using FFmpeg requires it to be installed on your system and available in the system's PATH.

You can download FFmpeg from the official website https://ffmpeg.org and make sure it is correctly installed and accessible from the command line before running the Java code.

I hope this helps you get started with audio extraction in Java!

    I have imported the respective jar files but one audio clip is generated but it is of 0 bytes and i am getting this error.

    [main] ERROR org.ffmpeg - [mp3 @ 04D5F8A0] Invalid audio stream. Exactly one MP3 audio stream is required.

    Try this
    JAVE - Manual

    I just tried this and, it works perfectly fine.
    Make sure you give correct path of source file.

    import it.sauronsoftware.jave.InputFormatException;
    
    public class AviToMp3 {
    
        /**
         * @param args
         */
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            File source = new File("source.avi");
            File target = new File("target.mp3");
            AudioAttributes audio = new AudioAttributes();
            audio.setCodec("libmp3lame");
            audio.setBitRate(new Integer(128000));
            audio.setChannels(new Integer(2));
            audio.setSamplingRate(new Integer(44100));
            EncodingAttributes attrs = new EncodingAttributes();
            attrs.setFormat("mp3");
            attrs.setAudioAttributes(audio);
            Encoder encoder = new Encoder();
            try {
                encoder.encode(source, target, attrs);
            } catch (IllegalArgumentException | EncoderException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
    
        }
    
    }

    getting the text from the mp3 file,
    What kind of text you want to extract? Media Information?
    It is there
    public it.sauronsoftware.jave.MultimediaInfo getInfo(java.io.File source)
                                                 throws it.sauronsoftware.jave.InputFormatException,
                                                        it.sauronsoftware.jave.EncoderException

    I want to extract the lyrics from the audio file and then make a text document of those lyrics.

    If it is part of metadata then you can extact it. Otherwise are you trying to get voice recognition

    Yes ,it is a case of voice recognition only and I am trying to get the words,actually they will be extracted from a lecture audio,so firstly i have to remove noise signals and extract only the tracker voice ,also the format in which sphinx which actually works as a voice recongintion tool in java works is through microphone and i have to extract it through mp3 file so thats the major issue.

    I am trying to convert first the mp3 file now to .wav file ,and then I will try to get some text if possible.I had discussed this ques on my linkledin network and i got some solutions,so please look at it if you understand something,

    You are looking for Speech recognition system.
    Are you looking for offline audio to text then I guess, it's very difficult to get desired result. You can only convert a speech (audio stream going into microphone).
    You can see #-Link-Snipped-#. If you are looking for streaming audio in mic to text. But still it's not very good, When even online and much sophisticated Google Now and Apple SIRI are struggling with this. If you are looking for speech to text then go for google translate or any online conversion method. See if Java Speech API works.
    I see the Linkdin discussion, they are talking about converting mp3 int binary stream not in the text.

    Actually ,if you saw the linkdin discussion,there one person Denis talked about that we can do convert it into text if the file is wav format,he even provided with a code,I have made my mp3 file into wav file,and even sphinx in java used for speech recognition also works through micropohne and usually the voice signal of a human is taken in wav format so now can i do something becoz my audio file is a mere english video lecture and i want to just make a text document of it,so now see if wav file is of any use,see even if text document is not made,now can you think of any other utility if in any way text is not possible because in there are merely words only spoken in a lecture,so I guess something can be done.

    Its completely fine sir,I have found ispeech and got a link for extracting text from a wave file ,already i have made a wave file and I am trying to do something,This is the link I am providing you,I am also trying ,if you get time see if you can find something.
    Lets hoe for the best,and thankss anyways for your support and guideline.

    You need api key to use iSpeech from here.

    See the code in sample
