Chinese Pinyin Subtitles for YouTube: LoopLingua

Learn Mandarin from the YouTube videos you already watch. LoopLingua adds clean, readable subtitles to YouTube videos that have Chinese captions. It shows the hanzi with tone-marked pinyin above each word, properly segmented so you read real words instead of a wall of characters. Tap any word to see its English meaning instantly, right on the video. How it works: LoopLingua reads the video's own Chinese captions, and switches YouTube's captions on for you when they are off. The video needs Chinese subtitles available. Everything after that is automatic. Beside the video sits the full transcript. Every line with its pinyin and English, click a line to jump straight to that moment, and save the ones worth keeping. When a sentence is worth remembering, save it with one click to a free LoopLingua account. LoopLingua saves the whole sentence, not the half line that happened to be on screen. It lands in a "Saved from videos" list, ready to loop, shadow, and turn into listening practice with natural audio. What you get: Pinyin over every Chinese caption line, split into real words instead of character by character Pinyin read in context, so 了 comes out as le when it should, not liǎo Word segmentation, pinyin and the dictionary all run on your device Tap any word for an instant English dictionary definition A scrollable transcript panel: click any line to jump there, save from the list Loop a line to replay it until you have it One-click save of complete sentences into your LoopLingua account English from the video's own English track when it has one, free Pro: our own translation of every line, so the English under a line always belongs to that line, even on videos whose English subtitles run out of step How to use: Open a YouTube video that has Chinese subtitles.
