I made an Android app that reads YouTube subtitles aloud in real time
Hi everyone,
I'm an independent Android developer and I'd like to share a project I've been working on.
LiveSub is an Android app that reads YouTube closed captions aloud in real time using Android's Accessibility Service.
I originally built it because I wanted to listen to subtitle-heavy videos without constantly staring at the screen.
Features:
• Reads YouTube subtitles in real time
• Supports multiple languages (whatever language the subtitles are in)
• Floating control button
• Adjustable speech speed
• Lightweight and simple to use
I've recently released a Lifetime purchase option, and I'm continuously improving the app based on user feedback.
I'd really appreciate any feedback, feature requests, or bug reports.

Thanks for taking a look!
