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.
crunchyroll is currently using AI subtitles. it’s obvious because when someone says “mothra. Funky…” it captions “mother fucker”
That explains why their subtitles have seemed worse to me lately. Every now and then I see something obviously wrong and wonder how it got by anyone who looked at it. Now I know why. No one looked at it.
my wife and I love laughing at the dumbass mistakes it makes.
some characters name is Asura Halls?
instead of “That’s Asura Halls!” you get “That asshole!”
but if I was actually hearing impaired I’d be really pissed that I’m being treated as second class even though Sony still took my money like everyone else.
