It would be cool (but super niche) to have a "wait, what was that" button in Netflix. Skip back 10s, enable subs. Would be great when you're trying not to use the subtitles, but sometimes get a bit outpaced. Edit: maybe not so niche! Someone build a WebExtension!

(Totally getting this though---I might not be sold on the Netflix stuff but in general this plugin seems invaluable to me at this point in my Russian skills).
Copyfish works well, but since it is a generic solution for copying text from embedded subtitles/images, it is not optimized for language learning.
Anyone know of a "reader" app for books that does something similar? (Totally getting this though---I might not be sold on the Netflix stuff but in general this plugin seems invaluable to me at this point in my Russian skills).

The closed captioning settings on a Roku player hint at something like that, but I'm not sure I've actually seen it work. Instead of just off and on, they have 4 settings: Off, On always, On replay, and On mute. (More details: https://support.roku.com/article/208756848-how-to-enable-clo...)
Another possible variation on this would be to just let you scroll back through subtitles without stopping the video. It would be nice to continue without breaking the flow, but maybe it would be confusing or weird for them to be out of sync.
I would watch the show with subtitles; when I didn't understand something, I would pause, look up the phrase/words, write them down for future repetition and continue.
A technology solution for this is awesome.
I used it to start trying to hear and parse Japanese (only about a month in of learning, so brand new, and just hearing the words and sounds of the language is still tricky).

For me, watching TV shows with subtitles is an excellent way to learn a language, once you are beyond the basics.
