uplang — Japanese on Netflix

About

Turn every Netflix show into a Japanese lesson.

uplang overlays interactive subtitles on Netflix. Every word is tokenized,
annotated with furigana, color-coded by how well you know it, and one click
away from an AI-generated grammar explanation or an Anki flashcard.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT YOU GET

• Dual subtitles, free forever. Japanese plus any secondary subtitle
  language Netflix lists for the title (English, Spanish, Korean, Italian,
  German, and more). No account required for the dual-subtitle mode.

• Correct word boundaries. Powered by Sudachi — Japan's gold-standard
  morphological analyzer. Multi-word expressions like 食べたくなかった and
  関係ない are identified as single units, not split into nonsense pieces.

• Tokenization for the whole episode in ~50 ms. By the time the first
  subtitle appears, every word card in the entire episode is already
  prepared. There is zero per-line delay.

• Furigana, your way. Always on, on hover, only on words you don't know
  yet, or off. Font size and overlay offset are fully adjustable.

• Familiarity highlighting. Known words in green, fragile words in amber,
  new words in your accent color — calibrated to your personal Anki
  vocabulary.

• Word cards with dictionary data. Reading, part of speech, conjugation,
  alternative forms, glosses — from JMdict (the definitive open-source
  Japanese–English dictionary).

• Selection breakdown. Highlight any span of Japanese text for a
  token-by-token breakdown with meanings and readings.

• AI grammar explanations. Request a contextual explanation for a word or
  phrase; the AI sees the full subtitle line as context and explains the
  grammar in plain language. No generic translations.

• One-click Anki flashcards. Send the word, reading, POS, glosses, and
  full sentence context (Japanese + your secondary subtitle line) straight
  into your Anki deck via the AnkiConnect add-on. Offline? The card is
  queued and sent when Anki is running again.

• Vocabulary sync. Your Anki decks flow back into the extension to power
  familiarity highlighting — so the words you are actively studying are
  the ones highlighted on screen.

• Playback controls built for study. Optional pause-on-hover freezes the
  video while you read a subtitle. Left / right arrow keys jump to the
  previous or next subtitle line instead of Netflix's default 10-second
  skip.
