Others have mentioned d-addicts for subtitles, and likewise if you Google for the filenames you should turn up plenty of links.

By the way, I think it'd be great in the future if Anki and subs2srs are integrated into classes, but who knows if the world is ready yet.

Dang it. I finally got a Battle Angel Alita video, with English Subtitles that match, but no Japanese subtitles. I forgot that Japanese subtitles are hard to come by. (By any chance, does anyone know where to get Japanese subtitles for Battle Angel Alita, My Neighbor Totoro, or Nausicaa of the valley of the wind, or something easy for a beginner?)

Ok, so you're suggesting:

Find Available Japanese Subtitles -> Find Video (Typically Japanese Language with English Subtitles -> Create subs2srs/Anki Deck


On a related note, would it be a good idea at least to create an online repository for Japanese/English subtitles? (Your own (Nest0r's) subtitle catalog has a subtitles I couldn't even find on http://kitsunekko.net)

nest0r Wrote:A lot of people seem intimidated by subs2srs, especially when they see all the comments in the thread of people trying to get it working on Linux or Macs or whatever, but it's in fact very easy. I recommend just snagging the English and Japanese subs for a single episode of an anime you have, from kitsunekko, and using that to go through the step-by-step instructions cb4960's provided (I only chose anime as a quick trial to get you started, since it's a small file and easy to find). It'll take less than 5 minutes, I swear.*

*Actual time may vary.

I think Nukemarine might have a video up, also? Though I think he use a dorama rather than an anime for an example:

Sounds like you're not mapping the fields correctly with the .tsv when importing the deck? Might be easier if you use the template deck cb4960 provides with subs2srs. subs2srs should also produce a pop-up window when it's finished that tells you what goes with what in terms of Audio, Tags, Expressions, etc. I think this is covered on the subs2srs page. This is an Anki thing, though, importing decks, that is, so you'll want to learn that basic aspect of Anki to make your life easier. ;p

@ghinzdra - I think you're wrong in many ways and I also disagree with your conceptions almost completely. You get plenty of context. Context is augmented; this is how the program works. Rote learning is slow, it's not an all or nothing equation. You can integrate subs2srs with your native media intake to boost your learning. Making decks takes only a few minutes. If a source is causing you to take more than a few minutes making a deck, don't use that source.

Anyway, I was speaking of people who want to use subs2srs (the decks made with it and/or the software itself) in the comment you replied to—I was not speaking of the possible reasons why some people sadly do not want to use it in their studies.

Well alright! Another satisfied customer!

nest0r Wrote:In the .tsv file, Anki separates things like Audio and Snapshot using semicolons or tabs, which is not the case for the two img src thingies you have listed above, right? They're both just the Expression or whatever. So in other words, when you import into Anki and are mapping them, each bit of stuff between the separators will be considered one field.

IceCream Wrote:@ghinzdra: the lack of context is why cb4960 added the option of adding extra context lines into your subs2srs deck. They can be used with just reading or with audio too. It's really helpful!!!

Right, so, it's a long time since i last did anything with subs, & i've had to reset my computer since then. I know i asked this before, but i have no idea where...

i'm opening the となりのトトロ subs from kitsuneko.net in notepad, but all i'm getting is junk. So far, i've tried:
* resaving the file as a UTF-8 file. (actually, i've tried all the options).
* checking that it's in a japanese font. (i've tried a few).
* changing "current system locale" option in Languages and regional settings to Japan.
* tried opening the subs in Aegisub instead, including with chartype UTF-8, and just get "unknown file type".
* downloaded the subtitles from modelino, but exactly the same thing happened.
* changing the filetype from .sub to .srt, but then i get a parse error.

Am i doing something wrong, or are these subtitles junk?

Hope someone can help!!!

nest0r Wrote:Yes, vobsubs (the .sub file; the .idx which accompanies it contains the timing info and stuff like that) are images of the subtitles that haven't been OCR'd (converted to text). That makes it annoying for when we want to copy/paste the text but unfortunately that's how Japanese movie subtitles are, in large part. You can always try cb4960's program Capture2Text, but let's not get into that now.

Hopefully by now you've looked at the Japanese subtitles at d-addicts and seen how much stuff there is out there. Those are .srt format, with selectable text.

This stuff is useful to know anyway if you're also going to be watching things with Japanese subtitles, or importing information into Anki based on Japanese you have in .tsv or .txt files (tab/semicolon-separated).

By the way, you've using the Preview in subs2srs, I hope? ;p
