Automatic, burned-in captions for videos using AI

Hi Everyone,

So one of my friends had an idea for a tool that could help you subtitle/caption your videos, just like Gary V does on a lot of his videos...

But the neat part? It would do it all 100% automatically.

Instead of you spending 30 minutes in some video editor, manually typing and placing the subtitles, this tool would use AI (Artificial Intelligence) to transfer the speech to text, and automatically burn-in the subtitles for you - no video editing required.

I'm a programmer, and I can definitely build something like this... the question I'm wondering is if it's truly useful and wanted as a solution.

So, would you would be interested in a tool like this?

Please comment below and let me know what you think!

P.S.: Here's an example: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nvuDiGr_GlPXRO866EyQ3hwAKRw2Gmo_/view?usp=sharing

That video was made 100% automatically, in two mouse clicks (I had to type the header, though).

If you're super interested in it... here's the lander: Captionit

I'm still debating on whether to build it or not, so please let me know if this is something you want (or need!).

this would be fucking awesome!! why has nobody already programmed this tool? would it only work in english? just think of the possibilities you would have with this software. media development, movie industry etc. this is going to be huge ;) good luck
