Extension 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

It's really great, it helps me watch netflix without interruption. But I often use Cast Player: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cast-player/dionggdmdobjjolppiiejleechniphok to watch videos from my computer with subtitles. I wish Netflix Subtitles Reader could support reading subtitles out loud, please.

It works good and I tried it on Netflix. It didn't work the first time but after I close the browser and open it back at work but it does not work on 9animetv.to OR aniwave.to.

Not perfect but pretty darn good. It's not without some flaws but by far the best one I have tried and the only one that works on Netflix remotely well. I don't mind subtitles but between having vision issues and ADHD making it impossible to focus on reading for more than a few minutes at a time it prevents me (and I'm sure many others) from enjoying series and movies that are not audio dubbed. I love foreign programming; without this app I wouldn't be able to enjoy most of what is available. Now if they would consider making an iPhone/iPad app, my life would be complete.
