SubSmith: Transform Your Favorite Media into Language Lessons

SubSmith empowers you to master new languages by utilizing the content you are already passionate about. Instead of boring textbooks, use your own videos and audio files to achieve fluency.

🚀 The Path to Fluency

SubSmith streamlines the transition from raw media files to active learning through a simple three-stage process:

1. Watch: Simply import your file. You get subtitles that are perfectly synchronized, meaning you can spend hours manually adjusting timestamps forget about timing issues entirely.
2. Learn: Eliminate the friction of constant pausing. Instead of switching to Google Translate, just hover your cursor over any word to see an instant definition.
3. Export: Efficiently "mine" sentences. With a single click, you can send audio snippets, screenshots, and definitions directly to Anki.

💻 Technical Example: Export Logic

While the UI is simple, the backend handles data like this:

{
  "sentence": "Example sentence in target language",
  "timestamp": "00:12:45",
  "definition": "Meaning of the word",
  "audio_clip": "clip_01.mp3",
  "screenshot": "frame_01.jpg"
}

Stop translating and start immersing.
