Sites with closed captions are a challenge to find; I’ve managed for a bit, and I found great ones.
However, now I’m trying to watch a show called Tokyo Vice where open subtitles aren’t working, and I have to find Nova ones.
However, sites that have them don’t work 99% of the time for this show; I’ve tried hundreds.
The frustration of not being able to watch a show and chill before bed is huge; this show I quoted isn’t even available in my country.
So yeah… This was my rant.
So this might get some flag but I have hat some luck running a 100% local AI model to do this. Generating subtitles for movies or shows where I could not find any at all or know someone willing enough to translate the whole thing.
This is literally one of the best use cases for LLM. I mean hell deepL exist and people aren’t angry at it. Tho it’s not really a general LLM.
But yeah, anyone being upset someone is using a language model for one of the few legitimately useful and good things it provides us. Is just being a hater for the sake of being a hater.
I’m gonna give you flak, but only for calling it flag :)
🤣 Yeah understandable
Finding a use case for AI? Believe it or not, straight to prison
I did a python script using whisper that create an srt file with any movie you pass on. Results are not super good, but is watchable. Also if you have a very good video card, you can use another model, I’m using here medium.en with an 8gb rtx5060 Here:

You wanna tell the rest of the class which model? Because I have had recommendations but they were more theoretical than actually vouched by someone running their local model. Whisper is supposed to be good for English and the free AI online will recommend it, but as soon as you scratch a bit you’ll learn about better models for other languages (Chinese, in my case).
The landscape changes frequently even sometimes two of three times a week.
I use whisper and various whisper variants generally. But I’ve recently tried hy-mt2 and found it to be really good as well.
Hy-mt2 is a tencent model so it may do Chinese really well. My personal use case is translating Bollywood and Chinese movies to English.
Thank you for sharing!
When I get back home I take a look, it is a bit ago. But it was not hard to do in the end with docker and a nvidia 3090.

Care to elaborate? I’m not a huge fan of AI, but in f it works well for subtitles, I’ll happily try it out
I’m not a huge fan of calculators but if it works well for multiplication I’ll happily try it out.
