As we all know, as a programmer, how to quickly realize the rapid development of your career or even overtake in a curve often depends on your mastery of English materials, such as: various technical documents, Daniel blogs, English books, and videos.
Nowadays, all kinds of hot technologies in China come from abroad. Many newly graduated practitioners rely on their sensitivity to cutting-edge knowledge to learn to master these technologies and advanced ideas that are not popular in China, and to improve the efficiency of their environment. Easily achieve rapid career development. However, many developers want to get in touch with these cutting-edge knowledge, but suffer from insufficient English skills, so many auxiliary tools have been produced to help read text or watch videos.
At present, there are many good translation plug-ins on the market for text-based foreign language materials. The translation effect combined with deepl or ChatGPT is relatively good, but when watching foreign language videos, it always feels not very easy to use. For me, there are the following a pain point:
When the author in the video is operating the demonstration, I need to stare at the video to see what code the author typed, and at the same time stare at the subtitles to see what the author said, which leads to low efficiency, and often needs to be paused and rolled back.
Subtitle sentence segmentation, for example, how are you, if it is two subtitles, then the first translation is: how, the second: are you?, if one subtitle is synthesized, it is: how are you?
Inaccurate recognition of the subtitle itself: Since subtitles are generally recognized by machines, this leads to inaccurate words in some subtitles.
Problems with subtitle translation: Some translation APIs will translate some commonly used technical terms into other meanings, making it difficult to understand, for example: translate Spring into spring, and war into war.
Waiting time: Some video translation systems require users to enter the video address in their own system, or upload the video, and then identify and translate the subtitles of the video. This usually takes a long time, at least in minutes. I hope the waiting time Keep it as short as possible without switching to other pages.
So for the above pain points, I recommend a recently discovered Chrome plugin: Youtube Dubbing
The plug-in uses TTS voice playback technology to play the translated Chinese, so that we don't need to stare at the subtitles, just listen to the sound directly.
This plug-in is very different from other translation software. Before translating, it will merge the subtitles first, so that the translated text will be more accurate. It will not translate Spring into spring like other software. It will be more suitable for our developers to learn foreign language video content.
If you need such a plug-in, hurry up and use it through the address below!
