About HardSubOCR – Subtitle OCR
HardSubOCR extracts burned-in (hardcoded) subtitles from video on your phone — fully offline. Nothing is uploaded. When you are done, export SRT or TXT.
WHO IT IS FOR
Anyone who needs text from videos that have no separate subtitle file: translators, fansubbers, researchers, and personal archives.
FEATURES
• Dialogue mode: sample frames, recognize text, and merge it into timed subtitle cues
• End-credits mode: capture rolling credits, deduplicate lines, and export as TXT
• Yellow ROI box so you only scan the subtitle area
• Edit, merge, and fine-tune cues on a timeline
• Pause recognition at any time
• Tablet-friendly list-detail layout
• Share SRT or TXT through the Android share sheet
LANGUAGES
Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, plus Latin, Cyrillic, and Arabic scripts.
PRIVACY
Recognition runs on-device with RapidOCR (ONNX). Videos stay on your phone. We do not collect your video files on our servers.
PRICING
Download is free. You get a 7-day full-feature trial from first launch. After the trial, existing projects can still be previewed. OCR and export require a Google Play subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.
Subscriptions renew automatically through Google Play at the price shown at checkout. Cancel anytime in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions. Access remains until the end of the current billing period. A lifetime purchase unlocks OCR and export permanently for this Google account.
