YuzuLingo vs Tdarr Subtitle OCR (thewolfman56)
YuzuLingo stays in the browser. You cover burned-in subtitles on the video you are already watching, including YouTube, Bilibili, and other web players. There is no Docker or Tdarr to set up, and no video file to download. Turn on Interact to read the burned-in line on your device, with furigana or pinyin when the language has them. Show that text always, on hover, or while you hold a hotkey.
Tdarr Subtitle OCR is thewolfman56’s Docker sidecar in the repo tdarr-subtitle-ocr. Tdarr pulls an image subtitle out of a library file, and this service writes an SRT. It can use NVIDIA CUDA, Intel OpenVINO, or Subtitle Edit. You set a bearer token and shared folders. The default image includes English Tesseract data only. More languages mean extra Tesseract data. Version 0.1.0. It does not cover a line on a web video while it plays.
