Trying to find a package that convert my json response from the Amazon AWS Transcribe service with no luck.

You can see an example of the JSON in the JavaScript part of the Fiddle.

I wouldn't like to take the naive approach and just "bundle" like 10 words together as that would space the captions in a weird way.

I'd even accept a programmatic way of doing it using the Google Speech service or Speechmatics. They all return a json file broken down by word.

Anyone has worked with that before?

Thanks!

You probably would have found a way to do that or created a script. I also tried finding some ready made solution so ended up writing some JavaScript code to generate SRT from the JSON output of Amazon Transcribe.

I am breaking sentences at period (.). It's a standalone HTML file. Feels free to download and modify as required.
