CCExtractor is a tool that produces subtitles from TV use. Global accessibility (all users, all content, all countries) is the goal. With so many different formats, this is a constantly moving target, but we intend to keep up with all sources and formats.
Carlos' version (mainstream) is the most stable branch.
CCExtractor has been invited to Summer of Code 2017! Another summer of coding fun.
If you are a student currently enrolled in university most likely you are eligible to participate. Read more at:
Downloads for precompiled binaries and source code can be found on our website.
Extracting subtitles is relatively simple. Just run the following command:
ccextractor <input>
This will extract the subtitles.
