YouTube Subtitle Delay

Mini tool to delay the YouTube subtitles

What is YouTube Subtitle Delay?

"YouTube Subtitle Delay" is a handy Chrome extension designed to enhance your YouTube viewing experience by allowing you to delay subtitles to match the spoken audio more precisely. This is particularly useful for language learners or when subtitles are out of sync with the video. With simple keyboard shortcuts ('A' to delay and 'D' to advance), users can seamlessly adjust subtitle timing on the fly. The extension operates exclusively on the YouTube platform, providing a much-needed feature until it becomes a standard YouTube option.

Mini tool to delay subtitles on the YouTube official website.

As you may know, YouTube doesn't have this functionality by default, and sometimes being able to delay subtitle streaming can be of great help, especially when you're trying to learn a new language. And this extension would help you to do so.

By default, you can change the delay time by "A" and "D" keyboard shortcuts. It's also possible to adjust your shortcuts.

This extension is only allowed to execute on the Youtube official website and I hope they add the subtitle delay options soon and make this extension useless :)

This is a very good idea software!! However, I am using YouTube automatic Translated caption. In my case, the video caption is delayed 13 second or more (need -13sec). However, your input field accept less or equal to 5 seconds. Please make it more longer (around -20 to +20 seconds). I am waiting you. Best regards,
