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 nice thing is, now at least this can be used with live tv from other countries and languages.

Think you want to watch Japanese tv or Korean channels with out bothering about downloading, searching and syncing subtitles

I prefer watching Mexican football announcers, and it would be nice to know what they're saying. Though that might actually detract from the experience.
