Rather than spend $10,000 having a professional translator tediously go through the video, I extracted stills using ffmpeg, recognized Chinese text with the free tool tesseract, and translated the text with the translate-shell command line tool. Success! I could make a business out of doing this. Witness a level of genius that Thanos would be proud of. I am the greatest lawyer-programmer in the world. #LawFirm #Programming #Technology Sat, 18 Oct 2025 03:22:37 -0700 Andy from private IP Reply #17944351 I'm creating a PDF booklet of side-by-side stills, Chinese text, and English translations using command line tools. The client loves this and it is turning out great.
