Adding subtitles to your YouTube videos is crucial for several reasons. Let's talk about the most important ones. Subtitles make your content more accessible to a wider audience. Not everyone can understand or hear the audio clearly, so having subtitles in videos allows viewers with hearing impairments or language barriers to still enjoy your videos.
Secondly, subtitles can improve the overall user experience. Viewers may be in a noisy environment or watching videos without sound, and having subtitles enables them to follow along without missing any important information. It also helps viewers to better understand the content, especially if it involves complex or technical terms.
Youtube captions can enhance engagement and viewer retention. Studies have shown that videos with captions tend to have higher watch times and lower bounce rates. Captions help viewers stay engaged and focused on the video, resulting in a more positive user experience.
So, adding subtitles to your YouTube videos is not only beneficial for accessibility and user experience but also for SEO, engagement, and reaching a wider audience. It is a simple yet effective way to improve the overall quality and impact of your content.
After downloading/installing it the program should be in the Sound & Video section in the applications panel. If you are using Unity by default just press SUPER and type subdownloader and press enter.
When you open the program it will automatically log in to opensubtitles and just search for the movie you want to find the subtitles for or the folder where the video or videos that you want to search the subtitles for. Then select the language for them and download. It will automatically put it in the folder where the video is, renaming it to the video name and enjoy. Open the video with VLC and you should be able to watch the movie with the subtitles.
Try subliminal, which downloads from multiple providers. It has all the features of other software suggested in this thread, but fares much better at detecting movie titles and finding quality subtitles.
I have noticed that the most up-voted tools under this question that I also wanted to use failed in finding any subtitles for certain videos, while VLC/VLSub, for example, was finding a lot o subtitles for the same videos at the same moment. - After testing a bit more (with videos of various origin, period, celebrity, country and extension) I have found that the cause is rather simple:
Some tools (namely SubDownloader, SMPlayer (default setting - see update below), Subliminal) search based on hash which is theoretically error free, while VLSub and OpenSubtitlesDownload.py can also search by name - with possible error but much more findings, of which at least one is the good one 90% of the time. - VLC/VLSub has also a separate option to search only by hash.
The only downside is that you have to start the player and run VLsub from there, as lua files cannot be run from command line, but even that brings the advantage that while the video is open you can quickly test the subtitles. The window of the VLSub tool with the list of found subtitles stays open and you can easily select a new one to download and load if the previous was not good. (That is a big advantage when you search only by name, and not by hash, and face the risk of getting first the wrong subtitles.)
A downside that I've noticed is that (while it is said to search by both hash and name) in the list it shows it's not clear which subtitle is to be preferred; after selecting a subtitle the zenity window closes; after selecting a bad subtitle, and in order to select a new one, one must run the script again; also, it seems to be less effective in finding subtitles for series than for feature movies.
Downloading subtitles is only one of its options, and it is mainly centered on renaming. It needs Java to work (and the GUI version seems to specifically ask for Oracle Java to work as intended).
The GUI interface is especially useful to download subtitles for multiple videos (e.g. for series, which none of the above can do), and then the program can be used to match the names of videos and subtitles with the 'Rename' tool. It searches both by name and hash.
To download English subtitles no language option is needed, but for other languages there is the option --lang with the 2 or 3 letter language code, but only one language can be specified per command, so you have to use separate commands for each language.
Also, for already existing videos and/or subtitles, it can get the proper names by using the -rename argument and by omitting the -get-subtitles one; example of a Thunar custom action in Xfce for English titles:
The downside of the CLI version is that when it gets the bad subtitles (which rarely happens, even if hash-checked subs are not available, only ones searched by name, but it may happen) there seems to be no way to list and select new subtitles as in other tools.
The subtitles will be downloaded automatically onto your computer in whatever format you selected in Step 3. Once complete, you can open them with any text editor or multimedia player that supports this type of file.

Yes, YouTube supports downloading subtitles for your videos. This can be done through the Video Manager section of your channel dashboard or by using a third-party website or application. Once you have downloaded the subtitles, they can then be uploaded and associated with the specific video on YouTube. What does it mean? It means that if you have created a video, and you have subtitles for it in multiple languages, then you can upload these subtitles to YouTube so that viewers from all over the world can watch your videos in the appropriate language.
Yes, it is possible to download videos with their subtitles from YouTube. While YouTube does not provide an official way to do this, there are third-party applications and websites that make the process much easier. These tools allow you to search for a video on YouTube, select which language subtitle you want to download, and then save the video and its subtitle file as one package. This makes it easy for you to store both the video and its subtitles together in your media library.
Additionally, some of these tools also have additional features like auto-downloading all available subtitles for a particular video or downloading only selected languages. It is important to note that while using third-party tools may be convenient, they should always be used carefully as they can potentially contain malicious code or be used to steal your information. It is always best to use a reputable tool from a trusted source.
SubRip (.srt) is a text-based file format used to store closed captioning information. It was originally developed as a way to provide access to movie dialogue for people with hearing impairments. It is now widely used as a standard format for timed text captions on YouTube.
VTT (Video Text Tracks) is a web-based, text-only format for timed text captions. It was developed by the video streaming and hosting company Wistia as an alternative to the SubRip (.srt) file format. VTT files can be used on YouTube in addition to SubRip formats.

Easiest way is by using docker if your Synology support it:
GitHub morpheus65535/bazarrbazarr - Bazarr is a companion application to Sonarr. It manage and download subtitles based on your requirements. You defined your preferences by TV show and Bazarr take care of everything for you.
For an earlier download, (the command for which I have lost,) subtitles were available and I have a good mp4 file and in addition I have another file with suffix .en.vtt. This seems to be a simple text file of the english subtitles and are displayed when I run VLC to play the mp4.
At least this seems to be the case as If I run the mp4 on its own in another directory I get no subtitles. Is it possible to have the subtitles embedded in the video?
Hi and thanks for the reply. Yes I can see that in the example there were no subtitles available but the point of my question is that where subtitle was found I end up with two files and I am asking if the subtitles can be embedded.
If not, it makes the management and playing of these files when stored difficult as they must be treated as a pair. I have added the option --write-subs. Should I have used --embed-subs. Have you come across this before?
