    I'm looking for transcribing audio into subtitles, I'm looking for being accurate, fast and batch episodes with 20+ minutes in length.

    So far I'm using subtitles edit but the problem isn't fast and accurate.

    Use Whisper AI command line version (cmd).
    You will need a good computer with a GPU of at least 12GB VRAM to get the best accuracy, or 8GB VRAM for a good accuracy.
    Which language are you going to transcribe?

    I have 8GB ram, I will say my computer has high speed. It is English I want to transcribe. I don't know how to use a command line to transcribe.

    When you say you are using SubtitleEdit, which version are you using and if you have selected the Whisper AI with GPU support to do the transcription?
    With 8GB GPU you should use the medium model for best accuracy.
    This video should help you to use the correct settings. This will improve the speed and accuracy.

    I have done it, but I found out it is only for audio only, not video I'm using MKV.

    When you say you have done it, what do you mean by that?

    Well of course you transcribe audio not video.
    You can extract the audio and use it as the input file or let ffmpeg do the extraction first. You must install ffmpeg if you didn't already, but I recommend the first option.

    You have got errors.
    Your file name MUST not have a space or just enclose it like this "file name" and NOT file name.

    So I should put a quote mark, without space?
    If not then how to type it my file name is "01. Fullmetal Alchemist"

    Yes
    Your script line should look like this
    whisper --model medium --language English "01. Fullmetal Alchemist.mp3"
    or
    whisper --model medium.en --language English "01. Fullmetal Alchemist.mp3"
    If you get errors, try a different model but don't go for large.
