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.
