DracoChinese: Learn Chinese on YouTube & Netflix – Pinyin, Transcript & AI

Learn Chinese on YouTube & Netflix: pinyin subtitles, transcripts, AI explanations, and vocabulary sync with the DracoChinese app.

DracoChinese turns YouTube and Netflix into a Chinese classroom. It adds pinyin to Chinese subtitles, shows the full transcript next to the video, explains any line with AI, and helps you practise listening and remember new words. 🎬 FEATURES • Automatic Pinyin — Pinyin above every Chinese character in YouTube and Netflix subtitles, with optional tone colours • Netflix Support — Turn it on once in the extension popup, then choose Chinese subtitles in the Netflix player. Netflix access is optional and only requested when you turn it on • Full Transcript — Every subtitle line beside the video, with pinyin. Press the play button on any line to hear it; the current line is highlighted as the video plays • Listening Controls — Previous / repeat / next line, auto-pause after each line, and 0.75× slow playback • Practice Mode — Fill-in-the-blank and dictation: the video pauses after each line so you can type what you heard, in characters or toneless pinyin • AI Explanations — Click the AI button on any line for a natural translation, a word-by-word breakdown, the key grammar point and usage notes, written for your level (beginner, intermediate or advanced) • Instant Lookup — Click any word to see all its readings, meanings and measure words • Line-by-line Translation — Show a translation under each transcript line • Simplified or Traditional — Show characters as in the subtitles, or convert to simplified or traditional • Vocabulary — Save words with one click. Each word remembers the video, the sentence it came from and its translation, so you can jump back and listen again • Smart Review — Spaced repetition brings each saved word back right before you'd forget it. Rate words as "Not familiar", "Review again" or "Mastered"; your review schedule is shared with the DracoChinese app's flashcards • Notes — Add personal notes to any saved word • Fullscreen Friendly — In fullscreen, the panel shrinks to a small icon in the corner; open it whenever you need it • 14 Interface Languages — English, 中文, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, 日本語, 한국어, Русский, العربية, Bahasa Indonesia, ไทย, Tiếng Việt, ខ្មែរ.
