Basic Usage
Currently, only an installable version for the Windows platform is provided. If you want to use the default Gummy caption engine, you first need to obtain an API KEY from the Alibaba Cloud Model Studio and configure it in the environment variables. This is necessary to use the model properly.
The international version of Alibaba Cloud does not provide the Gummy model, so non-Chinese users currently cannot use the default caption engine. I am trying to develop a new local caption engine to ensure that all users have access to a default caption engine.

🚀 Project Execution
Install Dependencies
npm install
Build Caption Engine
First, navigate to the caption-engine folder and execute the following command to create a virtual environment:
python -m venv subenv
Then activate the virtual environment:
# Windows
subenv/Scripts/activate
# Linux
source subenv/bin/activate
Next, install the dependencies (note that if you are in a Linux environment, you should comment out PyAudioWPatch in requirements.txt, as this module is only applicable to the Windows environment):
pip install -r requirements.txt
Then build the project using pyinstaller:
pyinstaller --onefile main-gummy.py
At this point, the project is built. You can find the executable file in the caption-engine/dist folder and proceed with further operations.
Run the Project
npm run dev
Build the Project
Note that the software is currently not adapted for the macOS platform. Please use Windows or Linux systems for building, with Windows being more recommended due to its full functionality.
