Jan Finster Posted May 18, 2019 at 08:44 AM Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 at 08:44 AM I wonder if there is a good solution to having Chinese movie subtitles read to you. Ideally, I would like to have the character that is just being read highlighted (including automatic scrolling), so I can keep track more easily. Also, it would be great if I could (optionally) see the English translation and pinyin support. Currently, I have found this TTS site, which I like a lot: https://www.xfyun.cn/services/online_tts However, it does not do the other things I mentioned above. Here is a sample from the movie The Grandmaster: Quote Kung fu: two words. 功夫-两个字 Horizontal. Vertical. 一横一竖 Make a mistake, horizontal. 错的 躺下喽 Stay standing and you win. 站着的才有资格讲话 Isn't that right? 你说这话对吗 Not bad. 好功夫啊 A master of Wing Chun. 陈华顺的关门弟子 The new hope of the South. 佛山无敌啊 What's his name? 叫什么名字啊？ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yadang Posted May 19, 2019 at 05:13 PM Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 at 05:13 PM I'm curious as to why you would want to do this. Movies are such a great source of audio, with dialogue created by and for native Chinese speakers. The perfect learning resource. Why have TTS butcher the audio? I would recommend instead using Subs2SRS to create flashcards with sentences extracted from the movie/TV show, then use Imron's Chinese Text Analyzer to add definitions/pinyin of unknown words, as described here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
