If I could use this to get subtitled gifs of the scene in question, not just screenshots, it would go from amazing to godlike. On the roadmap for v2, hopefully?

CLICK THE IMAGES

For me I don't get gifs, just a list of stills from the same scene

No Milpool! :( More seriously: 1) Awesome!!! 2) It would be great if the search results page listed the quotes in addition to showing the images.

It totally does have milpool:

It's just that nobody ever says "Milpool" in the dialogue.

I was hoping to find the quote in which Grandpa Simson mentions Estes Kefauver, but searching for "Kefauver" yields no results. :-(

I love this. It found everything I threw at it. I hope the Fox lawyers don't take it down. https://frinkiac.com/?p=search&q=THERE%27S+A+STUFFED+PEPPER+...

I searched for "moon pie" and didn't find what I was looking for. :(

Oddly, it works with quotes.

Or even with just one quote:

https://frinkiac.com/?p=search&q=%22moon

It looks like it uses really naive word breaking, so it considers the punctuation part of the word.

Awesome. I could find an episode about "tiger-repellent rock" just by searching for "tiger".

Much cooler than expected. So I assume this is fairly trivial to adapt to any other set of subtitled videos?

small point - the encaptionator should put a 1/2px black stroke around the white text so it is visible against any background colour

edit - after reading the FAQ I see you are working on this

I withdraw my question https://frinkiac.com/?p=caption&q=withdraw&e=S08E14&t=688870....

Every time you type a character in the search box, it adds a browser history. That is not great...

You're right! But that behavior should be a little better now.
