As Remi says, that's way beyond the scope of VLC.  However, there
certainly are programs, for instance SubRip, which do OCR on DVD
subtitles.  Google is your friend.  You should understand, though,
that many subtitles aren't easily interpreted, so the results of
OCR on those are poor.

I usually try to find subtitle files, and I've hacked together some
software to correct the commonest OCR mistakes in those; it's written
in elisp for GNU emacs.
