SubLater · Subtitle Delay, Dictation & Korean/English Listening Practice

Description

Subtitles come after you listen, not before. Pause and loop a line, then type it back. Korean & English. Netflix, YouTube, Viki. Hear it first. Read it after. SubLater delays subtitles (or hides them until you press a key), so you actually train your listening instead of reading along. Two training modes — Fixed delay (2.0s on/off on the free tier; Pro adjusts it 0–5s, set 0 for real-time dual subs) or Reveal mode (Pro; press S to check). Line-by-line tools — A/D jump between lines, R replays the line, L loops it (on YouTube: press R twice), P auto-pauses at the end of each line. Dual-language subtitles — The translation appears below, in sync (YouTube can auto-translate; other sites use the subtitle tracks the player already offers). Learning Korean? Turn on Korean subtitles and English appears below (great for K-dramas). Stuck on a word? Just hover (NEW) — Instant definitions for 34,000+ English words, fully on-device. Detects phrasal verbs and idioms ("look it up", "be able to"); the phrasal-verb & idiom notes are Pro. AI context notes explain why the word means what it means in this scene, powered by Chrome's built-in on-device AI (supported browsers). Note: definitions and phrasal-verb notes are written in Korean — this feature is built for Korean speakers learning English. AI context notes are in Korean on Korean-language browsers, in English otherwise. Prove you heard it (NEW) — Dictation (W): type what you heard and get instant scoring, two-stage hints, 0.7x slow replay, and a fanfare at 90+. Ladder replay (G, Pro): re-listen to one line in three steps — no subs, target language only, then translation. Missed lines are auto-collected for review (V) and Anki export (Pro). Full 14-day trial, free forever after — The app never locks you out. Subtitle delay (2.0s, on or off), dual subs, line navigation, auto-pause, hover definitions, and linking underlines stay free forever (dictation: 10/day, AI explanations: 20/day, 50 saved lines). Pro ($8.99/mo or $49.99/yr): adjustable delay (0–5s), Reveal mode, sound line, unlimited dictation and AI explanations, 5,000 saved lines, Anki export, phrasal-verb & idiom notes, ladder replay. Works on: Netflix, Coupang Play, Disney+, YouTube (with auto-translation), Viki. Plus: subtitle size control, mouse control bar, IME-independent hotkeys (press / while watching to see them all). Which languages? SubLater was built for Korean speakers learning English, and it now works the other way round too. Before you install, here is exactly what you get: · Any subtitle language — subtitle delay, Reveal mode (Pro), line navigation (A/D/R/L), auto-pause, saved lines. · Korean subtitles — hover a word for its English meaning and how it actually sounds, with a sound-based romanization. The sound line (Pro) romanizes the whole line the way it is spoken. · English subtitles — hover definitions, phrasal-verb notes, linking underlines and the sound line are written in Korean; that part is made for Korean speakers learning English. · Dual subtitles pair your subtitle track with a Korean one — or with English if your subtitles are Korean. Other pairings (for example Japanese + English) are not supported yet, and the second line will not appear if the title has no Korean track. · Dictation scoring supports English and Korean only. No viewing data is ever sent to us or anyone else. Subtitle text and saved lines never leave your device. The one thing that does leave your device is the email address you enter to unlock Pro — and only if you enter one. It is used solely to check whether that address has an active subscription, and we store it on no server of ours (it stays on your device until you disconnect it). If you never enter an email, SubLater never contacts our server or any third party. The only other requests it makes are to the streaming service you are already watching, to load that service's own subtitle files. When you uninstall, Chrome opens our short survey page; its address carries a few coarse values (language, version, day counts) that cannot identify you — see the privacy policy. SubLater is an independent product, not affiliated with Netflix, Coupang Play, Disney+, YouTube, or Viki. Each service requires your own subscription. ――――――――――――――――――― v0.19.14 update [Fixed] · Coupang Play: after replaying a line in dictation, the translation line could slip one line behind and show the previous line's translation ――――――――――――――――――― v0.19.15 update [Try it the moment you install] · On the welcome page that opens after install, "Try it now on YouTube" opens a TED talk with English subtitles already on — no sign-in or subscription needed · No need to pick a training style first.
