Et tu, Brute?

VLC automatic subtitles generation and translation based on local and open source AI models running on your machine working offline, and supporting numerous languages!

Oh, so it's basically like YouTube's auto-generatedd subtitles. Never mind.

Hopefully better than YouTube's, those are often pretty bad, especially for non-English videos.

They're awful for English videos too, IMO. Anyone with any kind of accent(read literally anyone except those with similar accents to the team that developed the auto-caption) it makes egregious errors, it's exceptionally bad with Australian, New Zealand, English, Irish, Scottish, Southern US, and North Eastern US. I'm my experience "using" it i find it nigh unusable.

Try it with videos featuring Kevin Bridges, Frankie Boyle, or Johnny Vegas
