#   FUNCTION
#     Produce subtitles from video (not recommended for use)
#
#   DETAILS
#     This script separates audio and video from an input video, and attempts
#     to produce a subtitle file using speech recognition.  At the current time,
#     there are no reliable means to convert audio to text.  So, this was an
#     EXPERIMENTAL approach to producing subtitles.
#
#   USAGE
#     ${SCRIPT_NAME} "<input file>"
