vttlive Extension

Provides a page action (icon on the address bar) for selected sites (as specified in extension options). When page action is clicked a search is made to podnapisi.net for a subtitle matching the video element on the page or in an iframe.

If a subtitle is found it's added as track element to the video. Meaning that you'll get subtitles to a video that otherwise would have none. :)

ava (ID: 000000ccc7ef4d1e) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 01/11/2021 For some reason, Youtube's captions weren't working for every video I tried to watch. I tried everything to fix it but it did not work. I decided to get a subtitle extension and chose this one. It didn't work, I was very dissapointed. Not 1 star because it could just be my device having problems with captions or something.
