VLC Player Demos Real-Time AI Subtitling for Videos
The open-source VLC video player was demonstrated at CES 2025, showcasing automatic AI subtitle generation and translation performed locally and offline in real-time.
In a post on X on January 9, 2025, VideoLAN shared: "VLC automatic subtitles generation and translation based on local and open source AI models running on your machine working offline, and supporting numerous languages!"
"At the same time we have automatic translation working to translate the subtitles to your own language," said VideoLAN president Jean-Baptiste Kempf, noting that the feature supports more than 100 languages. "What's important is that this is running on your machine locally, offline, without any cloud services. It runs directly inside the executable."
In a series of videos shared on X, VideoLAN demonstrated open-source AI models generating real-time subtitles in various languages. The feature is expected to work not only for pre-recorded videos but also for live broadcasts.
