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.

      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).

      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.
