SUMMARY

############### NOTE: Please be informed that this extension will only be functional up to Chrome version 126. Unfortunately, I will not be updating it to support Chrome version 127 and beyond. Maintaining and updating the extension requires a significant amount of effort, and given the limited user base and the fact that it is offered for free, it is not feasible for me to continue its development. Thank you for your understanding and for using the extension. ################ To use the extension, you need to have an active Netflix subscription. Remember the times when we watch foreign-language content (those amazing Korean Tv Series) on Netflix, however, we have to stick our eyes on the subtitles instead of the video itself? Not anymore. Netflix Subtitles Reader converts those subtitles using Text-to-speech engine and announces them out loud. You may now continue your office work on one monitor while watching a foreign tv series on another monitor without losing any details of the show and without an excessive focus on the subtitles. WHAT DOES IT DO? At Netflix, Viki, Youtube and Hotstar, it reads subtitles out loud using text to speech. It also enables to translate Youtube video in your language. USAGE: 1) Play any foreign content on Netflix 2) Enable subtitles in English (or a language of your choice) 3) Click on the icon of this extension, select the same language as above and click on 'Start' That's it. To translate any youtube video: 1) Play the youtube video 2) In subtitles, select "Auto Translate" and translate to your language 3) Click on the icon of this extension, select the same language as above and click on 'Start' That's it. To stop the audio subtitles, click on the extension's icon and click on 'Stop'. TIP: Set the volume of Netflix to 20% and volume of system to 100%. Then adjust both until the audio volumes are comfortable as per your preference. ------ Update: 30-Sep-2023 - Added support for Viki.com - Added support for Hotstar.com - Fixed a bug that caused all-capital letters in a word to spell instead of speaking it. - Youtube videos in foreign language may now be translated to your language ------ Update: 24-June-2023 - Added Youtube - Extension now works on youtube.com as well - Speed Controls - buttons to increase or decrease the speed of the speech - Language - option to change the language - Voice - option to change the voice ------ FAQ: Q. It does not work on my browser > Please make sure that the subtitles are on. If subtitles are not being visible on the screen, there won't be anything for the extension to read. Also make sure that the language of the subtitles matches the language and voice set in the extension. The extension is meant for Google Chrome browser and has been optimized to use on Windows Machine. It may not work on other browsers (such as Edge) or other OS (such as Mac) Q. There are delays and it stutters or repeats things. > The extension uses your system's inbuilt text to speech APIs. If it is stuttering, your system might be getting a lot of interrupts due to some issues in your system. There is nothing at the extension's layer that we could do to solve this. Please try this on another system or try to debug what hardware or software is causing the underlying interrupts. Q. The languages and voices do not load on my system > The extension uses whatever languages and voices are installed in your system's/browser's text-to-speech engine. If languages or voices are missing, try searching the web on how to install them for your os/browser. Q. It does not read diacritics. > Please make sure the correct language is selected in the extension. If English is selected, it has been programmed to ignore diacritics, as english does not have diacritics. NOTE: This is a free, ad-free, no-signup-required, totally barrier-free, free extension. If there is something you don't like in the extension or if you would like to request a feature that is not already present, please use the Support tab instead of leaving a negative rating.
