It's getting impossible to watch a specific show as an English learner (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Sites with closed captions are a challenge to find; I've managed for a bit, and I found great ones.

However, now I'm trying to watch a show called Tokyo Vice where open subtitles aren't working, and I have to find Nova ones.

However, sites that have them don't work 99% of the time for this show; I've tried hundreds.

The frustration of not being able to watch a show and chill before bed is huge; this show I quoted isn't even available in my country.

So yeah... This was my rant.

You wanna tell the rest of the class which model? Because I have had recommendations but they were more theoretical than actually vouched by someone running their local model. Whisper is supposed to be good for English and the free AI online will recommend it, but as soon as you scratch a bit you'll learn about better models for other languages (Chinese, in my case).

The landscape changes frequently even sometimes two of three times a week.

I use whisper and various whisper variants generally. But I've recently tried hy-mt2 and found it to be really good as well.

Hy-mt2 is a tencent model so it may do Chinese really well. My personal use case is translating Bollywood and Chinese movies to English.

When I get back home I take a look, it is a bit ago. But it was not hard to do in the end with docker and a nvidia 3090.
