If you’re one of the people who have yet to try ChatGPT, Gemini, and other genAI products, or you think AI isn’t worth all the hype we’ve been witnessing in the last few years, I’m about to show you what’s easily the best use of AI so far. If you’re already a fan of ChatGPT like me, you’ll love this feature even more, as it further proves that AI products can improve various aspects of our lives.
The guys behind the free VLC program, the incredibly popular video player that can play any video file with ease, came up with a way to put AI to good use for those people who need subtitles in their VLC experience. VLC parent VideoLAN brought at CES 2025 a demo of the player using on-device AI to offer subtitles and translation in real-time as a video is playing.
The AI’s ability to translate languages or offer real-time transcripts of voice files isn’t new. It’s not something VideoLAN invented. Galaxy AI phones like the Galaxy S24 and Samsung’s foldables can provide such features. ChatGPT can translate languages and talk to you in multiple languages if you choose to.
What’s impressive here is how VideoLAN employs this technology to fix a problem many VLC users might have.
