Greetings all,

Just released a new iOS app called Compress-san. It's an easy-to-use utility to compress videos taken on iPhone, and then generate SRT files with transcriptions of any spoken word inside of the clip.

Had a friend who was creating work instructions and using videos to insert clips into the work instructions. This app allowed him to generate on-device subtitle SRT files to pass along into another LLM for creation of the general work instructions. He can then use the compressed video to create small video clips of key processes and throw on a shared drive.

Some additional nice features include batch processing of up to 10 videos at once, iPad UI support, local on-device translation of SRT files into 23 languages, and native support of the UI for Spanish and Japanese languages.

Welcome to any feedback or additional ideas.
