Skriptor turns video or audio into subtitles in up to 100 languages, translates them, and burns them into the video — all on your own computer. No file ever goes to the cloud, and the speech models ship inside the app, so it keeps working with the network unplugged. A one-time purchase on the Microsoft Store, not a subscription.

Could you build this?
No Packaging, optimizing, and bundling local speech-to-text (Whisper/whisper.cpp) and offline machine translation models with native hardware acceleration across varied Windows GPUs and CPU fallbacks requires low-level systems engineering.
What it would actually take: Needs a native Windows desktop client (C++/C# or Rust with WinUI/WPF or Electron/Tauri) bundling whisper.cpp, ONNX Runtime, DirectML/CUDA, and local translation models (like MarianMT or Bergamot). The core difficulty lies in cross-hardware profiling, dynamic quantization, GPU driver fallback handling, and memory footprint management within a self-contained offline installer.
