This is a good thing, but I want to go one step further and use a mouse-over dictionary. I'm glad that chinese shows usually come with Chinese subtitles, and I tend to watch them on Viki, which has english subtitles too.

To compound matters further, I have a mac, so software is limited. I've read posts in some forums that make it seem quite possible, but upon further investigation I always fail. If anyone has any success with soft or hard subs I'd love to hear about it. It's a bit sad because almost all Chinese TV has subtitles, which means someone had to create them, but you can't find them anywhere. Sometimes movies have them (especially for movies dubbed from English), but it's almost impossible to find TV shows unless someone has gone to the trouble of transcribing them and uploads them somewhere, and there's no central site for them. The problem is they are not available for most native Chinese programs because Chinese people don't need them. The best solutions I have are to avoid the problem by looking for SRT files on sites like shooter.cn.
Recognizing subtitles with no background is very hard, it's going to be even harder if there is background imagery. Some of the non-language specific software can sort-of OCR Chinese but frequently the characters are split in half, and as far as I can see there's no way of saving your character set so you end up having to "teach" it thousands of characters but can never re-use them.Īs for what you actually asked for - hard-subs are even harder. I've looked into it for many hours but with no success.Īpparently there's some software out there that can OCR softsubs (that are in graphics format like stored on a DVD) but I never managed to get it working, it's very complex and all the documentation is in Chinese and you need old versions of software and I just never had any success.
