Features

Integration with multiple video services

The list of services will expand at the request of users.
To use the plugin, you must have a subscription to the desired service.

Now supported:

Word and full subtitle translation

Simply move the cursor over the word you want to translate. The video will automatically pause and resume when you move the cursor away from the subtitles.
In the translation pop-up for the word, you can see alternative translations and how often they are used. Click the subtitles to translate the entire phrase.

Export words to learning services

The list of services will be extended in response to user requests.

Now supported:

To export, you'll need to be logged in to the service you want to use (make sure it's the same browser). Then select the service you want to use in the extension settings.

A ➕(plus) icon will then appear next to the words in the translation, and clicking on it will export the word to the selected service.

Rewind to previous and next subtitle

Rewind to the previous sentence by pressing ⬅️ (left arrow).
Rewind to the next sentence by pressing ➡️ (right arrow). Repeat the current subtitle ⬇ (down arrow).

Rewind only works if the next/previous sentence is less than 5 seconds apart from the current sentence. Otherwise it'll rewinds 5 seconds.
To force rewinding to the next/previous sentence use alt (option for macOS) + arrow button.

Subtitle progress bar

There is a subtitle progress bar at the bottom of the player to help you navigate between subtitles.
Click the progress bar to rewind the video to the desired point.
