   LLPlayer – a media player with OpenAI Whisper▲22

   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. [Github: https://github.com/umlx5h/LLPlayer]
