A little window. Your kind of focus.

MADE FOR YOUR EVERYDAY
01

Choose your view.

Switch between video with an active caption, captions on their own, or video and a transcript together.

02

Follow every thought.

Follow the current caption, jump to the previous or next line, or loop a line to listen again. Word highlighting is available when timing allows.

03

Make it feel like yours.

Adjust text size, organize captions into one sentence per line, and drag the video/transcript divider. The player remembers your layout and each channel’s selected mode.

WORDS THAT KEEP UP

Lose yourself in the idea.
Keep your place in the words.

YouTube captions and standard HTML5 text tracks, close at hand. Captions and Both layouts automatically turn on YouTube CC, keeping your selected language and auto-translation. When a full transcript is unavailable, the player can fall back to visible captions.

Your channels, in one place.

Click the extension icon to open the side panel, or right-click a YouTube page and choose Subscribe to this channel. Browse the latest videos from public RSS feeds and open one in a dedicated YouTube tab. Subscriptions use Chrome sync; caption processing stays on your device.
