Captionfy.io — Make Youtube accessible with community captions

Featured

Captionfy provides a subtitle editor that allows anyone to add captions to any Youtube video (even if they don't own the video) in any language. Once a user publishes captions to a video, anyone who needs it can watch the video on Captionfy with subtitles.

I have built Captionfy.io after I struggled with sharing Youtube videos to friends who cannot speak English. Years ago I started creating subtitles to videos just so I could share and possibly help others with my subtitles, but I always had the feeling this process could be easier and friendlier. This is why I started the project and now with Youtube cancelling community captions, I believe it is time to make it public :) I hope you guys enjoy it!

@joao_ram This is a great idea. You know when I published Captionz on Reddit (for reference Captionz is a website I made to watch YouTube video with dual captions etc.), a lot of people have asked me about how to add a caption for their interested video. I said a lot of time that unless you are the owner of that video, I don't think there is another way. Now your work just illuminates this path, give us another way. For reference, this is my post on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Interne... Captionz: https://pnlpal.dev/captionz

@joao_ram @river_young hey! Thanks a lot, your project is really cool and I am following it now. Very cool to see multiple projects to help with language barriers/accessibility in general. I hope Captionfy can help!
