The popular open-source VLC video player was demonstrated on the floor of CES 2025 with automatic AI subtitling and translation, generated locally and offline in real time. Parent organization VideoLAN shared a video on Tuesday in which president Jean-Baptiste Kempf shows off the new feature, which uses open-source AI models to generate subtitles for videos in several languages.

The technology is nowhere near being good though. On synthetic tests, on the data it was trained and tweeked on, maybe, I don't know.
I corun an event when we invite speakers from all over the world, and we tried every way to generate subtitles, all of them run on the level of YouTube autogenerated ones. It's better than nothing, but you can't rely on it really.

No, but I think it would be super helpful to synchronize subtitles that are not aligned to the video.
