Show HN: LLPlayer – a media player with OpenAI Whisper

Hello HN. I created a video player for Windows, specialized for language learning.

It can generate subtitles in real time using OpenAI Whisper. It can also generate subtitles from any online videos.

It is free and open source.

I would very much like to get feedback, Thanks.

I think it would also be helpful if it could pronounce or vocalize specific words you click on to learn the definition of, if not entirely transcribe the subtitled text in another language.

Keep up the good work, cool idea.

Thanks for the feedback! It is possible to use an external dictionary tool to speak via the clipboard, but it seems difficult to support many languages. It would be easy to implement using Microsoft UWP speech API, but there may be quality issues.

I will research if there is a good quality playback method locally, Thanks.
