This is really amazing! Well done.

I already joined the beta but I want to point out another use case here as well:

In many countries (ie Greece where I'm from) movies and TV shows never get dubbed. We rely on subtitles. This means that if you can't see well (disability or age-related eye problems) and if your English is not excellent, then you are doomed to only watch locally produced movies & shows.

This can be a real life-changer.

Thank you!

With movies, I think I could get into legally challenging territory. I guess all AI apps are, in a way. But with movies, there's an entire industry behind enforcing copyright. So I must tread carefully on that front.

I made the jump from the courtroom into VS Code years ago. I really don't want to go backwards.

I honestly don't see how movies are different with any content ie YouTube videos. I am pretty sure MrBeast etc have the same lawyers as any big studio.

Could this run locally? I would certainly pay for that and you're off the hook on how anyone uses it.
