    I mean to be realistic, Whisper (the audio to text AI ) linked with chatGPT can subtitle anything in real time, translated in any language, in very high quality…

      You just need a GPU running in realtime along side your video playback to analyse what is being played instead of a single text file with timecodes.

      Progress!

        It doesn’t need to be realtime since you can pre generate an srt with time codes beforehand using something like bazarr. Whisper also runs faster than realtime in most model sizes, up to 32x realtime so it can really be worth it to add auto subtitles to media in your collection that’s missing subtitles as a one time job.

          It’s an interesting idea to patch the holes when absolutely no srt files are available.
          But why not have an open repository where already present srt files could be shared by people.
          We could call it libre-subs or something like that.
