The popular open-source VLC video player was demonstrated on the floor of CES 2025 with automatic AI subtitling and translation, generated locally and offline in real time. Parent organization VideoLAN shared a video on Tuesday in which president Jean-Baptiste Kempf shows off the new feature, which uses open-source AI models to generate subtitles for videos in several languages.

    It’d be incredible for deaf people being able to read captions for spoken conversations and to have the other person’s glasses translate from ASL to English.

    Honestly I’d be a bit shocked if the AI ASL -> English doesn’t exist already, there’s so much training data available, the Deaf community loves video for obvious reasons.
