This is really exciting news! VLC adding real-time AI subtitling with offline capabilities is a game-changer for accessibility and international content consumption. While this is great for real-time viewing, for those who need to analyze, edit, or repurpose video content, having access to the actual transcript text is crucial. That's where tools like video to srt come in - they can help you extract, analyze, and work with video transcripts in ways that go beyond just real-time viewing. The combination of real-time AI subtitling (like VLC's new feature) and dedicated transcript analysis tools gives content creators and researchers the best of both worlds. You can watch with live subtitles, then use the transcript for deeper analysis, content repurposing, or creating study materials. This development really shows how AI is democratizing access to video content across language barriers. Exciting times for both viewers and content creators!
