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

Heads up: Whisper support depends on how your FFmpeg was built. Some packages will not include it yet. Check with `ffmpeg -buildconf` or `ffmpeg -filters | grep whisper`. If you compile yourself, remember to pass `--enable-whisper` and give the filter a real model path.

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

yep, finally the deaf will able to read what people are saying in a porno!

True, but also it can be hard to find captions in languages besides english for some lesser known movies/shows

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

This could streamline things
