asbplayer: Language-learning with subtitles
asbplayer is a language-learning assistant designed for serious language learners who rely on subtitled media for their language acquisition. Unlike other similar extensions, such as Language Reactor or Migaku, asbplayer sets itself apart by being completely free, open source, and compatible with almost every streaming video service available.
One of the standout features of asbplayer is the ability to enhance any streaming video element with text-selectable subtitles. Users have the option to bring their own subtitle files or utilize auto-detected subtitles from popular streaming platforms like Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Disney Plus, and Amazon Prime.
The program also offers a user-friendly interface and controls for creating high-quality Anki flashcards that include subtitles, screenshots, and audio. Additionally, users can easily navigate between subtitles, toggle subtitles on and off, adjust the playback rate of the video, and access other useful playback modes, such as skipping un-subtitled sections to focus on language learning.
