CLUSTER DESKTOP-SUBTITLES-TRANSLATES · 18 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2023-06-02

Desktop AI subtitle translation apps

This cluster consists of desktop applications that generate, translate, and sometimes dub subtitles for videos and audio, often using local speech recognition and AI translation models. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from — only one dated entry exists before the index start, so it predates the index or most members are undated. Among the traction leaders, wavesubs has the highest activity signal (23 stars), followed by SubGame-Lab (5 stars) and lecture-live (3 stars).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 18 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
