About YouTube Subtitle Sidekick
Learn English from the YouTube videos you already enjoy.
YouTube Subtitle Sidekick turns YouTube into an interactive English-learning experience. Follow rolling subtitles beside the video, understand unfamiliar language in context, and build a vocabulary you’ll actually remember.
Learn while you watch
Subtitles automatically follow the video and highlight the current line. Click any word for a definition, pronunciation, and phonetic spelling—without leaving YouTube. Translate subtitle lines when you need help, then replay the exact moment to hear the language again.
