[vlc] Thoughts from a blind person

[Anders Holmberg]

Hi!
Thanks Pete for your friendly help.
I will try to google it and see what i can find out.
But maybe i do not get much out of subs as a blind person.
I think its much better to get sighted assistance reading them for me
instead.

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.

Pete
