PenguinSubtitlePlayer For Mac

PenguinSubtitlePlayer offers you the possibility to watch online videos with subtitles even though the service does not come with such functions.

The PenguinSubtitlePlayer utility places a transparent subtitles viewer on top of all windows so that you can use it in conjunction with any third party web browser or website.

To get started with PenguinSubtitlePlayer, just load the subtitle file you want to use by dragging and dropping the file on top of the app’s main window.

Note that you can also opt to go through the Finder menu, and PenguinSubtitlePlayer allows you to set the default directory for your subtitle files to reduce the navigation time. Moreover, you can also modify the adjustment time interval.

PenguinSubtitlePlayer can work with SRT files, but provides support for more than 700 encodings. You can rely on the viewer’s auto-detection capabilities, or you can manually select the one you want to use when you load the subtitle file.

Since the PenguinSubtitlePlayer window stays on top of all other windows, you can use any other third-party application to play de video content, and then rely on PenguinSubtitlePlayer for the subtitles part. The system works even if you watch the videos in full screen.

What’s more, you get to resize the subtitle viewer’s window, change the opacity level and background color, adjust the font size, color, and style, choose the writing system, or disable the text shadow.

Bottom line, PenguinSubtitlePlayer is a great alternative solution whenever you want to see subtitles without being conditioned by third-party apps.

The viewer comes with a customizable interface, works with a large number of encodings, and integrates file tuning options, such as the possibility to fast forward or backward the text (you get to select the default time interval in the Preferences).
