Use your own videos
The tool is designed for downloaded or local Chinese videos, including files that do not already have a subtitle track.
CHINESE VIDEO UNDERSTANDING SYSTEM
Understand Chinese videos without knowing every word.
Upload a local Chinese video and add a connected language layer: Chinese text, pinyin, timing, and optional English. Follow the meaning, then export SRT or positioned ASS files for your player.

WHY IT EXISTS
Most subtitle tools stop before the part learners actually need.
Read while you listen
Pinyin sits above the matching Hanzi so learners can connect sound, character, and meaning in one view.
Export real files
Download standard SRT for compatibility or positioned ASS when you want pinyin placed above each character.
A NEW WORKFLOW
Built for Chinese videos that do not already come with useful subtitles.
Many language tools begin with an existing YouTube, Netflix, or platform subtitle track. SubChinese starts from the file itself. If the speech is Chinese, the system creates timed Chinese text, adds pinyin, keeps English as an optional meaning layer, then exports a real subtitle file.
Old pathNeed existing subtitlesWorks only when the platform already has a usable track.
Our pathStart from Chinese speechUpload a local file and generate connected language layers from the audio.
Pro layerFrame-aware ASSPinyin can sit above Hanzi instead of floating as a loose text line.
PLATFORM FEATURES
A language layer for the videos you already have.
SubChinese is not a transcription wrapper. It connects the transcript, pinyin, translation, timing, preview, and export formats into one reviewable system.
Source transcript
Turn Chinese speech into editable, timed text that can be checked against the original audio.
Character-aligned pinyin
Generate tone-marked pinyin from the corrected Hanzi so the reading layer stays connected.
Optional meaning layer
Keep English available as a note while leaving the Chinese layer clear on the video.
Segment control
Jump between timed segments, loop one sentence, and review difficult phrases in context.
Format-native export
Download SRT for compatibility or ASS when the layout needs positioned pinyin.
PRODUCT CAPABILITIES
One product, seven connected capabilities.
Each capability answers a different part of the same question: how can a Chinese video become easier to understand without losing the source that made it worth watching?

WHY THE PRODUCT IS WORTH KEEPING
From text output to a reusable language asset.
Ordinary transcription
A block of words. Useful for reading, but disconnected from playback and pronunciation.
Timed Chinese content
Chinese text with a place in the video. Now the viewer can pause, replay, edit, and export.
SubChinese language asset
Chinese, pinyin, meaning, timing, history, SRT, and positioned ASS working as one reusable layer.
WORKFLOW
Upload, review, edit once, export every layer.
Automatic output is the first draft. The product makes correction local and reusable: fix the Chinese line, keep the reading relationship clear, then export the same work in the format you need.

USE CASES
Built for learners who study from real Chinese content.
Self-study learners
Turn dramas, interviews, courses, or short clips into repeatable reading and listening material.
Chinese video → pinyin subtitlesTutor homework
Let teachers assign real videos, while the tool handles transcript, pinyin, and replay support.
Chinese video → pinyin subtitlesLanguage schools
Prepare subtitle files for classroom clips without manually typing and timing every line.
Chinese video → pinyin subtitlesImmersion libraries
Build a personal folder of Chinese videos with matching subtitle files for later review.
Chinese video → pinyin subtitlesTHE SMART SWITCH
The ROI is obvious when learners study from videos they already care about.
Private tutoring is still valuable for conversation and feedback. This tool replaces the repetitive prep work: transcribing, checking pinyin, translating, timing, and making subtitle files.
Tutor comparison
Use tutors for feedback, not repetitive prep.
Before$20-60/hr
Private tutoring is expensive when the session is mostly pausing and explaining a video line by line.
→
With tool$6.99/mo
Generate subtitles first, then spend tutor time on speaking, correction, and real feedback.
Time comparison
Stop rebuilding the same study notes by hand.
Before1-2 hrs
Manual study means replaying, typing Hanzi, checking pinyin, translating, and guessing timing.
→
With toolMinutes
Generate transcript, pinyin, translation, timing, and subtitle files in one workflow.
Learning asset
Turn a one-time explanation into a reusable file.
BeforeTemporary
A live explanation disappears after the class, and the same video is hard to review later.

With toolReusable
Keep SRT and ASS files beside the video and build a personal Chinese immersion library.

PERSONAL LANGUAGE LAYER
Build a clearer way to understand the videos you already care about.
Instead of forcing people into fixed courses, SubChinese turns the content they already want to watch into a reusable language layer: transcript, pinyin, translation notes, review segments, and player-ready subtitle files.
Use real content
Study from videos you actually care about, not a generic practice clip.
Guided subtitle workflow
Move from raw audio to timed Hanzi, pinyin, translation notes, SRT, and ASS.
Bite-sized segments
Break long videos into repeatable lines so review feels focused and manageable.
Clear learning notes
Keep English explanations and word context available without cluttering the video.
Hands-on editing
Adjust lines, review wording, and export files instead of passively watching.
Consistency loop
Build a reusable folder of study files and return to hard phrases later.
Authentic pronunciation
Train listening with the original speaker audio from the source video.
Desktop-ready export
Use SRT for broad support or positioned ASS when pinyin needs to sit above Hanzi.
