What to expect

Supported inputs
MP4 videos, and any other video or recording this browser can read.
What happens
Whisper, a speech recognition model, writes down each word with its time, and the words are grouped into short lines that are easy to read. The MP4 itself isn't changed.
Limits
The first time, the browser downloads the 77 MB speech model and keeps it. Making subtitles takes about a sixth of the video's length.
