YouTube Subtitle Delay

Mini tool to delay the YouTube subtitles

YouTube Subtitle Delay - Sync Subs Easily

"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.

User reviews

It doesn't work for me for some reason. Tried from -100 to 600 seconds and sometimes the subtitles won't move on at all. If it helps, I'm trying to watch Taskmaster UK

This is such a lifesaver and works perfectly, thank you so much! Note: remember to refresh the page after saving the delay.

Estou usando para "desativar" as legendas dos previews na home, coloquei um deley de 999999, assim as legendas desaparecem, corrigindo o bug das legendas que ficam sempre voltando.
