About SubText

Turn the shows and films you watch into language practice. SubText shows two subtitle lines at once, the original and a translation, so you can learn languages while watching the shows you already love. Features: - Dual Subtitles: original & translation, synced to playback. - Three translation modes: context-aware AI translations, machine translations, or the site's own caption track. - Word Hover: hover over a word for its meaning. - Phrase Selection: select a phrase for its translation. - Click on a word for a deeper breakdown: definition, part of speech, base form, and an example sentence. - Hear it out loud: play the pronunciation of a word or phrase. - Expression Highlights: SubText detects expressions such as idioms, phrasal verbs, collocations, sayings, and slang, allowing you to choose which kinds to highlight and in what color. - Follow-Along: words light up as they're spoken (for videos that support it). - Save to your library: save the words, phrases, and expressions you encounter to your personal library; review them later with study tools like flashcards, quizzes, and the ability to create your own study sets on subtext.site. - Make it yours: colors, sizing, position, playback-speed, subtitle keyboard shortcuts, per-site settings, and more configurable via a menu. - and more. Works on major streaming platforms including YouTube and Netflix. Visit subtext.site for the full list of supported platforms. Free features: machine-translated dual-language subtitles, word hover, phrase translations, and pronunciations all work without an account. A SubText paid subscription unlocks higher-quality, context-aware AI translations, expression detection, saving to your personal library, manual curation tools, and more.
