Review summary

Users appreciate that Auto-Subtitle can generate SRTs and help with accessibility and translation, and that it works on some sites. However, many reviewers report major drawbacks: it requires Google/Amazon cloud accounts and API keys (not clearly advertised), can be costly to use, has reliability problems (hangs/doesn’t work), and lacks clear guidance on securing API keys.

Pros

Generates automatic subtitles and exports SRT files (users can open/copy the generated text).
Useful idea for accessibility and breaking language barriers (translation capability praised by multiple users).
Works for some sites/videos for several users (toolbar icon and subtitle overlay appear on supported videos).

Cons

Requires a Google Cloud or Amazon Web Services account and an API key — several users said this requirement was not clearly stated.
Can incur significant pay‑per‑use costs (translation/subtitle APIs), making it unsuitable for many personal users; several reviews called it effectively paid.
Reliability issues: multiple reports that it doesn’t work, hangs while generating subtitles, or fails on some videos.
Security and documentation concerns: instructions don’t clearly explain API key restriction or safe handling, so users worry about sharing keys.

2024-02-03	Fi*****	I NEVER write reviews. Never! This is my 1st and only for an add-on. And long overdue! I very much like and appreciate this Auto-Subtitle add-on. Thank you Much! - Sometimes the official subs are available, great. But even the imperfect auto-generated ones are 95% accurate. Sincerest thank you to the maker. (Opening the generated srt file in a text reader like Notepad, one can see the words, copy paste, etc). Thank you thank you thank you!
