subtitle.im

YouTube captions, on when needed, off when they get in the way. When a video has burned-in subtitles and switchable YouTube captions at the same time, the text can get in the way. subtitle.im automatically turns on available YouTube captions, detects burned-in subtitles in the video, then handles overlapping captions according to your settings. It leaves the original video unchanged. Main features • Turn on captions automatically: Enable an available caption track and keep applying your setting as you move between videos. • Turn off duplicate captions: When burned-in subtitles and YouTube captions repeat the same content, turn off the switchable captions according to your settings. • Choose what happens with different languages: Turn captions off automatically, ask first, or keep them on. Keep them on if you want to read the original and a translation together. • Restore captions anytime: Use the extension or YouTube CC to turn them back on. After a manual change, automatic adjustments stop for that viewing. • Detect locally: Video frames and caption text used for detection are processed in your browser and are not uploaded. Good to know Works on YouTube video watch pages in desktop Chrome. It does not edit burned-in subtitles or generate, translate, or download captions. Detection can be affected by subtitle styling, video quality, and other factors. When evidence is insufficient, YouTube captions stay on; you can restore them if they were turned off by mistake. Privacy and diagnostics Recognition runs locally: video frames and subtitle text are not uploaded. If you explicitly choose to upload a diagnostic report, it contains sanitized operational logs, relevant video identifiers, browser/system information, an anonymous installation identifier, and device authorization status. Reports exclude video frames, subtitle text, email addresses and credentials. The interface supports Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Arabic, and Hindi.
