Free and Open Source Video Editor Kdenlive v21.04 Released with Automatic Speech-to-Text, Typewriter Animation Effects and Other Improvements

The free and open-source non-linear video editor Kdenlive (KDE Non-Linear Video Editor) brings speech to text, Interface, and usability improvements, new effects, and more with this major release.

A new speech-to-text feature allows you to automatically transcribe any audio to text via the Vosk speech recognition toolkit. This engine supports 17 different languages and dialects today. Note though you must adjust the timeline zone, the blue line above the timelines, to indicate what portion to generate text for otherwise nothing happens (like happened to me).

The typewriter effect is introduced with three animation modes (by character, word, line). Another one I really liked but may get annoying for viewers of your video ;-)
