When learning a new language, we often watch engaging movies or video tutorials. However, when we encounter unfamiliar or ambiguous subtitles, we typically need to pause the video and look up translations, which can disrupt the learning flow and viewing experience.
Today, we’d like to share a GitHub project designed specifically for language learners: LLPlayer.
LLPlayer enhances the language learning process by offering bilingual subtitles, AI-generated transcripts, real-time translation, and instant dictionary lookup—all while you enjoy your video content.
Bilingual Subtitles Displayed Simultaneously: Supports both text-based and image-based subtitles.
AI-Powered Auto Subtitles: Powered by OpenAI Whisper for accurate speech-to-text conversion.
Real-Time Translation: Supports multiple translation engines including Google, DeepL, Ollama, and OpenAI.
Context-Aware Translations: Leverages LLMs to understand subtitle context and provide precise translations.
Subtitle Sidebar: Offers spoiler prevention and quick navigation to specific parts of the video.
Instant Word Lookup: Built-in word definition and customizable web search without interrupting playback.
LLPlayer currently supports Windows systems. To run the app, you’ll need to install .NET Desktop Runtime 9 and Visual C++ Redistributable 2022 or newer. Simply download the installer to get started.
