ClickCaptions

ClickCaption turns video subtitles into an interactive language-learning tool on YouTube, Netflix, Stan and HBO Max — in whatever language the video offers, not just English. EVERY CAPTION WORD IS CLICKABLE • Click a word — the video pauses and a plain-language explanation appears, matched to how the word is used in that exact sentence. Slang and idioms include a "show origin" follow-up. • ⌘-click (Ctrl-click on Windows) two words — select a whole phrase, with a live preview of the range as you hover, even across the previous sentence. • Words inside an explanation are clickable too, so you can drill into anything you don't know. • Hear it out loud — a pronounce button plays natural speech for any word or phrase. CAPTIONS FOLLOW THE PLATFORM, IN ANY LANGUAGE • Switch the subtitle language in the video player's own menu — YouTube's CC menu (including auto-translate), Netflix's audio & subtitles panel — and ClickCaption follows automatically, mid-video. • Languages written without spaces (Chinese, Japanese, Thai) are properly segmented so every word is individually clickable. EXPLANATIONS IN YOUR LANGUAGE • Choose from 15 languages in the popup, or leave it on Auto to match the captions — Chinese captions get Chinese explanations, Spanish gets Spanish. BUILT FOR STUDY FLOW • Keyboard navigation: A/← previous sentence, D/→ next, S/↓ repeat, W/↑ pause. • Star any lookup to save it to your word list, synced to your account. • Recent lookups are kept in the popup — on YouTube and Netflix with a deep link back to the exact moment in the video. Requires a free account; AI-powered explanations use a subscription after the trial.
