Subtara’s YouTube subtitles, in reading mode

Editorial interest 76/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A not-yet-released browser extension concept for translating YouTube subtitles into a controllable reading panel.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-24 issue.

For: YouTube viewers reading translated subtitles
Worth noticing: Manual scrolling pauses auto-follow without a countdown; playback highlighting continues, and following resumes only on request.

Field notes

The design keeps navigation, reading, and video playback distinct: viewing original text, copying, or scrolling is not meant to start or pause the video. The page also specifies that collapsing and reopening the panel preserves reading position for the same video, while changing videos clears the expanded-original-text state. Its v24 candidate is still undergoing real-environment checks, despite the page reporting 139 local tests passed.
