SubRead 0.9.4

The speech library no longer holds the version line of the compiler, so the F-Droid build is the same as the signed APK on GitHub. Nothing else changes.

The APK is attached two times. SubRead.apk is the same file under a name without a version, for the link releases/latest/download/SubRead.apk.

SubRead 0.9.3

The speech library has no build ID, so the F-Droid build is the same as the signed APK on GitHub. Nothing else changes.

The APK is attached two times. SubRead.apk is the same file under a name without a version, for the link releases/latest/download/SubRead.apk.

SubRead 0.9.2

The settings end with links to the other apps of the author. The app is smaller: R8 removes code that it does not use. F-Droid can now check that its build is the same as the signed APK on GitHub.

The APK is attached two times. SubRead.apk is the same file under a name without a version, for the link releases/latest/download/SubRead.apk.

SubRead 0.9.1

When another app asks for subtitles that SubRead made before, the screen stays open, says why the job was so fast, and has a button for the way back. Before, it opened and closed at once.

The APK is attached two times. SubRead.apk is the same file under a name without a version, for the link releases/latest/download/SubRead.apk.

SubRead 0.9.0

Another app (a reader, an audiobook player) can now ask SubRead for the subtitles of a book and get the .srt back: see docs/intent-api.md. SubRead shows its usual screen with the progress, names the app that asked, and leaves the user's own picks alone. Only content:// Uris are taken.

SubRead 0.8.0

A link to honjimaku.com, a free library where users share subtitles of Japanese audiobooks. It opens the browser: the app still has no network permission. A build for Google Play leaves it out.

SubRead 0.7.0

A button to support the development on Ko-fi. It opens the browser: the app still has no network permission. A build for Google Play leaves it out. No other change.

SubRead 0.6.0

No change to what the app does. The build now fits F-Droid: the version is in the build file, the speech model is in the repository, and the APK holds no dependency list that only Google can read.

SubRead 0.5.0

The first screen now shows all that the app can do, before you press a button.

• The outputs are on the first screen as real controls: Subtitles (.srt), and Video + subtitles with its size and frames a second. The options work at once. The save buttons are grey until a job is done.
• A short list says the rest: the audio and book formats, the languages, and that all work stays on the device.

SubRead 0.4.0

New: videos + subtitles which can be played with any video player or uploaded to YouTube.

After a job, Save video + .srt writes name.mp4 (the cover of the book over the audio) and name.srt into a folder you pick. Video players load the subtitles by themselves.

• Pick the size (720p, 1080p, and more where the device has an encoder) and 1 to 60 frames a second.
• The picture is still, so the video track is very small: about 60 MB for a 10-hour book at 720p. More frames a second add almost nothing.
• AAC audio (m4b, m4a) is copied as it is. MP3 and other audio is encoded to AAC once.

Tested on a Viwoods AiPaper Reader (Android 16): the file decodes with the platform decoder and with ffmpeg.
