VLC automatic subtitles generation and translation based on local and open source AI models running on your machine working offline, and supporting numerous languages!
Demo can be found on our
/search?q=#CES2025 booth in Eureka Park.

Demos of the subtitles generation in Hebrew and German here.

@videolan
Japanese and French too.

@MarkMann447
What languages are supported?
5/81
@videolan
For detection (audio) or generation (subtitles)?

@jessyseonoob
hmmm can we have automatic voice AI translation !!!
7/81
@videolan
Of course.

@Entropie34
I bet it's very computationally intensive to run a decent STT coupled with an LLM/NLP translation model in real time locally. It would be better to handle it via the cloud to make it more accessible to the general public
9/81
@videolan
Absolutely not! The goal is to not depend on an expensive cloud operation!

@DeezNutsElite
Does this mean we can watch any Anime or Japanese Obstacle Course show with English Sub?!
11/81
@videolan
Probably, yes.

@RaduUrsache
how about a modern UI? its not 2001 anymore
15/81
@videolan
Which OS?
16/81
@AlexLandherr
Could this be applied to generate a subtitle track as e.g. an SRT file that could then be merged with the corresponding video file?
This would be great for people that need subtitles like “English SDH” when there aren’t any available.
17/81
@videolan
Yes
18/81
@AlexLandherr
How good is the synchronization for e.g. an episode of a TV show?
I have old TV episodes with excellent video and audio that lacks any subtitles.
19/81
@videolan
Send it to us, and we can test!

C'est généré en temps réel ou alors y'a une phase de processing en amont ?

@videolan
Temps réel !

@BeggarBucks
Great work if it's built in, real-time, and auto language detection. I need to use subtitle edit to generate and embed the subtitles so I can stream it to other devices.

After all these years they continue to provide.

One of the most favourite software for users over the years. Non-profit, didn’t add any useless features to make VLC slow. And now adding AI subtitles and translations.

now if it's about sports or video games that would be uncharacteristic for me.
