No Sound? No Problem with JustSubsPlayer

 

What do you do when you're in a library, quiet office setting, or simply without your earphones or functioning sound and want to watch an online video? It could be anything from a smartphone tutorial to work-related content to the au courant funny cat video, but in most cases it's neither helpful nor entertaining if you can't hear what's being said. With online video content becoming more prolific every day, it makes sense to have a handy (and free) download like JustSubsPlayer.

Not only are subtitles useful for sharing foreign film and video content with a global user base, and as a substitute for closed captioning for the hearing impaired, they have also been found to help children develop reading and writing skills, and understand language at a faster rate. Aside from benefiting my Los Angeles website design clients' search engine optimization campaigns and engaging their targeted audiences with interactive product and service information, online videos have also come to serve as electronic instruction manuals and troubleshooting guides that often save us in emergencies.

Yet, let's say the one video you pull up on your given dilemma has terrible sound quality. JustSubsPlayer will essentially play it in text form. It can overlay subtitles on video formats that don't offer subtitles, which usually exist as .SRT files. These files typically exist separately from videos, and are not coded into them, but they can be downloaded, and then played through JustSubsPlayer on any part of your screen. You can play with the speed of the subtitles, as well as pause and restart them and search within the text for a certain point in a video.

JustSubsPlayer 1.0 is available for download of about 2.9K from its main site and gives you a sample file to acquaint you with the program and its various capabilities.
