Description

First, this is an Outstanding program, thank you for your hard work.
I'm using it to get speech to srt (subrip subtitle) for foreign language video.

I found that with an Apostrophe (common in English language) in a filename, the transcriber throws an error message.

Example of Error Message:

1. Filename being input by me to test Belladonna's Red Snare.wav

INFO:root:Recognizing /mnt/d/Temp-Video/4k Download/Belladonna's Red Snare.wav
INFO:root:No closing quotation

2. What works just fine is an edited filename after removing the Apostrophe:

*Belladonnas Red Snare.wav

3. Note: Typically complex TV Show series file names with upper and lower case characters, numbers, spaces and hyphens work fine, just not Apostrophe so far as I have tested.

example: "XXX - S02E01 - Return from - Belladonnas Red Snare.wav" works perfectly.
example: "XXX - S02E01 - Return from - Belladonna's Red Snare.wav" fails, no closing quotation error
