Overview

YouTube Pinyin Overlay helps Chinese learners improve their listening and pronunciation by automatically adding Pinyin (with tone marks) above Chinese subtitles on YouTube videos.

Whether you're watching auto-generated, live, or manually uploaded Chinese captions, this lightweight extension runs in the background and overlays accurate Pinyin directly above each line of text — without disrupting playback or styling.

🔤 Key Features:
• Converts visible Chinese subtitles to Pinyin with tone marks
• Works with both simplified and traditional characters
• Supports auto-generated, live, and most manual Chinese captions
• Lightweight and fast — no configuration needed
• Preserves YouTube’s original appearance and subtitle timing

This tool is ideal for learners practicing Chinese pronunciation, tone recognition, or character reading in real-world video contexts.

🎓 Powered by the pinyin-pro library for high-accuracy tonal rendering.
