Linking a previous discussion to FFMPEG's inclusion of whisper in this release: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44886647

This seemed to be interesting to users of this site. tl;dr they added support for whisper, an OpenAI model for speech-to-text, which should allow autogeneration of captions via ffmpeg

these days most movies and series already come out with captions, but you know what does not, given the vast amount of it?... ;)

And also pirated releases are super weird and all over the place with subtitles and video player compatibility

This could streamline things

There's websites where you can download subtitles. Usually from very obviously pirated released.
