Description

Could you please add auto-translation for games without any subtitles? There were plenty FMV games on Dos, Saturn, 3do, Playstation without any captions, only speech in dialogues. So OCRs wont help in that case. Online speech recognition and transcribing-translation to text is critical.
Please consider to integrate it in RetroArch.
