How to save a video transcript to text file?

On a computer with Python 3 and Ubuntu 16.04, I'm trying to use the autosub (https://github.com/agermanidis/autosub)

I installed FFmpeg on Ubuntu (command example - http://www.codebind.com/linux-tutorials/install-ffmpeg-ubuntu-16-04/) and then pip install autosub

On the Terminal I went to a directory with this file: video1.wmv

It is a video in Brazilian Portuguese, that I want to obtain a file with the transcriptions of the lines

Please, is this command what I should type? 

autosub -S pt -D pt video1.wmv

And then how to save in a .TXT file?

Detail: I typed the:

autosub -S pt -D pt video1.wmv

But this error appeared:

File "/home/reinaldo/Documentos/Code/ti/bin/autosub", line 136
print "The given file does not exist: {0}".format(filename)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

pip install git+https://github.com/agermanidis/autosub.git

will install the latest version from github master which already handled this issue.

(1) "invalid syntax" because you gave wrong instruction. Try as:

print ( "The given file does not exist: {0}".format(filename) )


(2) Regarding "Please, is this command what I should type?":

Your autosub -S pt -D pt video1.wmv has no API key for Google Translate.

The app says it makes "requests to Google Web Speech API to generate transcriptions (subs)"

usage: autosub [-h] [-C CONCURRENCY] [-o OUTPUT] [-F FORMAT] [-S SRC_LANGUAGE]
               [-D DST_LANGUAGE] [-K API_KEY] [--list-formats]
               [--list-languages]
               [source_path]

positional arguments:
  source_path           Path to the video or audio file to subtitle

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -C CONCURRENCY, --concurrency CONCURRENCY
                        Number of concurrent API requests to make
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Output path for subtitles (by default, subtitles are
                        saved in the same directory and name as the source
                        path)
  -F FORMAT, --format FORMAT
                        Destination subtitle format
  -S SRC_LANGUAGE, --src-language SRC_LANGUAGE
                        Language spoken in source file
  -D DST_LANGUAGE, --dst-language DST_LANGUAGE
                        Desired language for the subtitles
  -K API_KEY, --api-key API_KEY
                        The Google Translate API key to be used. (Required for
                        subtitle translation)
  --list-formats        List all available subtitle formats
  --list-languages      List all available source/destination languages
