@nixCraft I don’t really see an issue with speech-to-text run locally in itself.
An issue however is them labelling it as AI and most likely adding it specifically so they can say they have AI features…
Also, unless they know or really believe the majority of played media is home video rather that movies and TV shows this is the wrong initial approach. There are several online sources of subtitles, better to automatically grab a file from them (like Plex can). Speech-to-text should be the fallback option.
