See It in Action

SubMiner sits as a transparent overlay on top of mpv. Subtitles appear as interactive, clickable text — click a word to look it up with Yomitan, then add it to Anki with one click.

How It Works

01

Watch

Play a video in mpv. SubMiner connects via IPC and captures subtitles in real time.

02

Look Up

Hover over a word in the subtitle overlay and hold Shift to trigger a Yomitan dictionary lookup.

03

Mine

Add the word to Anki from Yomitan. SubMiner detects the new card automatically.

04

Enrich

SubMiner fills in the sentence, audio clip, screenshot, and translation — no extra steps.
