subscreen.app — working on an app that synchronizes with the movie/show you watch and displays subtitles on your phone (in the original language or a language of your choice).

Tech stack: - Python + opensubtitles.org for the data pipeline - Whisper for speech recognition - React Native for the mobile client

Current state: tech demo. The app works fine and already helps a lot — for me and my wife (both non-native English speakers) it makes watching movies in Dutch cinemas much easier, by showing English subtitles on our phones instead of the Dutch ones provided by the theater.

The biggest issue now is subtitle quality and legal status. Opensubtitles provides a lot of data, but the quality is often questionable, and the legal status is rather gray/black.

Any legal or data-related advice would be appreciated!

AppMetrica is a set of libraries for collecting app usage statistics, and for creating and running push campaigns and collecting statistics on them.

It's funny they ask me to subscribe to their newsletter using my email in the end without any explanation on how they're going to use it :)

Or you could just log in with the embedded „Log in with Google“ Button. Which ironically probably tracks you too without even clicking it.

It probably notes the timing, position of click, acceleration of mouse.
