Miteiru is an open source Electron video player to learn Chinese, Japanese, and Cantonese. It has modular main language dictionary and tokenizer (morphological analyzer), heavily based on External software MeCab, and optinally needs JMDict to give language info box. This software is heavily inspired by Anisubber. |
- Cross-platform! Available in Windows, MacOS, GNU/Linux.
- Supports all videos that your chromium supports! In some OS's, it supports x265.
- On-The-Fly Furigana generation! blazing-fast and no severe cache build needed.
- Instant definition of any terms that uses LevelDB on first start only!
- Instant definition of any word in the subtitles.
- Instant definition on Kanji
- Translation subtitles alongside the Japanese subtitles.
- Word/Token spacing in the Japanese subtitles
- Youtube Support
-
For the first run, you can press this button, and wait for about 2 minutes because it is caching the japanese dictionary..
-
-
You can start by dragging:
- Any videos (Anime is good) you can get subtitle at https://kitsunekko.net/
- Any youtube URL
- Or you can just literally paste any youtube watch video into the miteiru (just ctrl + v into the player)
- But youtube japanese will only show for videos that have japanese CC or auto-generated japanese CC.

- Because I'm too poor to afford the so called 99 USD apple developer program annual fee, you will
encounter the unidentified developer warning.
- No worry, all codes are open source and I have no intend to harm your Mac... You can even build your own app by following the developer guide below
- Run it this way: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-a-mac-app-from-an-unidentified-developer-mh40616/mac
- Being such a good guy I am, I've provided both the portable one and the setup one, you can just pick any, install it.
- There's this issue where some PC would recognize the setup as a virus... but you can try your own virus total test.
- I made the .deb and .AppImage, currently no other build is provided because I'm too lazy
As per February 3rd, 2024 MacWhisper is a really good UI for Whisper in mac, anyway if you want to run whisper on other OS or for free:
- clone this repo git@github.com:ggerganov/whisper.cpp.git
- install ffmpeg
cd whisper.cpp && bash ./models/download-ggml-model.sh large
put this in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc or any rc your os use
export WHISPERPATH=~/project/whisper.cpp
whisper() {
local input="$1"
shift
# All remaining arguments will be treated as an array
local -a extra_args=("$@")
"$WHISPERPATH/main" -f "$input" -of "$input.w" --model "$WHISPERPATH/models/ggml-medium.bin" -l ja "${extra_args[@]}" -osrt
}
prepwhisper() {
local input="$1"
local output="${input%.\*}.wav"
ffmpeg -i "$input" -ar 16000 -ac 1 -c:a pcm_s16le "$output"
}
Then run on your video
prepwhisper video.mp4
whisper video.wav
- voila
You can run the followings on the cloned repository: (don't forget to download the LFS files as well)
npm install
npm run script:initrepo
npm run dev # This to run dev
npm run build:nsis # This to build for Windows
npm run build:portable # This to build for Windows Portable
npm run build:linux20 # This to build for Linux 20.04
npm run build:linux22 # This to build for Linux 22.04
npm run build # this is for macMecab can be downloaded through brew by running:
brew install mecabor in Ubuntu:
sudo apt install mecabThen, you can run
which mecabor in Windows, you can directly download the binary file from SourceForge
to show your default mecab binary file. Use it as the path when asked in Miteiru. Then, you can get JMDict Dictionary in https://github.com/scriptin/jmdict-simplified/releases. Use it as the path when asked in Miteiru as well. Miteiru will build a LevelDB cache locally. Then, you can enjoy the app!
By default, you are using whatever your default Mecab Dictionary offers you, but you can further
customize this by modifying the mecabrc file which is located in /opt/homebrew/etc/mecabrc in
MacOS, C:\Program Files (x86)\MeCab\etc\mecabrc in Windows, and /etc/mecabrc in Ubuntu. For
other OS's you gotta figure it our for yourself right now. Shunou, Miteiru's microlibrary can
support Unidic, Jumandic, Ipadic, and it's variations. Specifically, if you check out the dicrc
file of each dictionary, Shunou can support the output format chamame, chasen, and the classic
Jumandic god knows what output format. You can
get UniDic files here
