SubSmith
1 commentThe first launch from SubSmith
SubSmith takes a video or audio file, produces accurately timed subtitles in the original language, and turns the player into a study tool: hover a word for a definition without pausing, then export the sentence with its audio clip, screenshot and definition to Anki in one click. It covers 99 or so languages, runs as a desktop app, and is sold as a $15-a-year subscription or a $40 lifetime licence with a seven-day trial.

Every serious language learner ends up doing this by hand: a show they like, a subtitle file, a dictionary in another window, and Anki at the end. The tools that promise to automate it usually want you to learn from their content instead of yours.
This one starts from your file, which is the right place to start. The pricing is refreshingly unambitious for a language app. I would want to know how the transcription holds up on fast, slangy speech, because that is the material worth learning from.
