VLC player demos real-time AI subtitling for videos
The video player is testing a new AI tool to create subtitles in over 100 languages.
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.
This is an actual good use of AI. Thank you.
Exact opposite sentiment from the last post about this. Personally, I think it's great, but I saw so many people saying they would never use VLC again when this was first announced.
Well it runs offline and it is helpfull and it is open source so all the boxes ticked for me so far.
This sounds awesome! Does it need any beefy hardware to work?
