A while ago I used whisper (or rather an OSS subtitle tool that used whisper, sadly can’t remember the name; it also converted burned in subs to proper ones via OCR) to generate subtitles for a season of a Show (4 season DVD set, 1 had proper subs, 2 burned in subs, 1 no subs -.-), too old and not popular enough to have "scene" subs, it worked impressively well. The most memorable thing for me was that a character’s scream was properly attributed to the correct character.

I’d love a feature like that for Jellyfin eventually.
