SubWise: watch movies in Chrome with live subtitles and word breakdowns on your phone

SubWise Features

AI subtitle translation

Each subtitle line is translated on your phone while you watch, with context from the scene.

AI phrase explanations

Tap for grammar, idioms, and vocabulary notes in your language — powered by AI with monthly fair-use limits.

Remote playback control

Play, pause, and skip from the app so you do not have to reach for the laptop mid-scene.

Browser + phone in sync

The extension sends subtitles over a secure paired session; your phone shows the same line in real time.

Personal dictionary

Tap a word—or a single character in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean—for translation, then save it to your dictionary. Search, review, and listen again anytime from Profile → Dictionary.

Learn from what you already watch

SubWise is built for immersion: original audio and subtitles on the big screen, translations, saved vocabulary, and explanations on your phone — English, Spanish, Russian, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Chinese, and more.
