Here to watch with you.

A little pixel cat that lives on your YouTube captions, for the long podcasts, the slow talks and every hour of listening practice.

This is CaptionCat.

Made for the long listens.

CaptionCat started on YouTube, learning English from podcasts. Hours of people sitting and talking: good for the ears, a little lonely for everything else. So I put a cat on the captions.

It doesn't ask for anything. It wanders along the subtitles, washes its face, chases a red dot when it gets bored, and dozes off at the edge when the talk runs long. Now and then it looks up at what was just said.

It's drawn after Jinghua, a real tuxedo cat.

A few extras, while it's there.

Nothing fancy. Just handy when you're listening in a language you're still learning.

Paper captions

Each line sits on its own little sheet of paper, easy to read over any video. Alt + Shift + S flips back to YouTube's look.

Hover to translate

Hover a line to read the whole sentence in your own language. The video can pause while you read.

Click to keep a word

Click a word in English captions and it's saved with the sentence it came from, grouped by video.

Put something on. The cat will keep you company.

CaptionCat is coming to the Chrome Web Store soon. It works in Chrome and Edge.
