Aelano's subtitles are designed for studying inside the player, but many people want to take them elsewhere:
Aelano's subtitle export supports four formats, which cover these common needs.
In the study player, the "Export script" entry lives in subtitle editing or the More menu (the exact location differs a little by platform).
Opening it brings up an export panel where you choose the format and what to include.
The standard subtitle file format, with timestamps.
Good for: use with other video players (VLC, PotPlayer, IINA, CapCut, and so on) — put the video and the SRT together and the player loads the subtitles automatically.
Plain text, no timestamps.
Good for: copying into Word / Notion / a notes app to organize; building study notes; printing; further processing with text tools.
A formatted script PDF, laid out sentence by sentence, which can be bilingual and carry study aids such as phonetic symbols and furigana.
Good for: printing paper study material; offline reading; sharing with someone else; keeping a proper study archive.
Exactly the same layout and content as the PDF (bilingual pairs, highlighted
vocabulary, key expressions, notes, and pronunciation guides are all there),
just written as a .docx you can keep editing in Word, WPS, or Pages.
Good for: annotating the exported script yourself, deleting sentences you do not need, or adjusting the type before printing; handing out a class script.
Furigana, pinyin, and phonetic symbols use Word's native phonetic guide, so Word and WPS render them above the characters. Japanese romaji (and Korean or Thai romanization) has no "below the word" equivalent in Word, so it follows the word inline in small grey type.
Whichever format you pick, each of the following can be switched on independently:
Depending on the language, you can choose whether to include:
These pronunciation guides are especially useful for beginners — you can print them out and read along.
Does exporting use up my membership allowance?
Subtitle export itself does not use any allowance. But if you tick "include translation" at export time and some sentences have not been translated yet, those sentences are translated first (which uses translation allowance), then exported.
Can the SRT file be used with a video directly?
Yes. Put the video and an SRT of the same name in the same folder (for example movie.mp4 + movie.srt), and the large majority of video players will load the subtitles automatically.
Can the PDF layout be adjusted?
Right now it uses one default layout optimized for studying (font size, line spacing, and the bilingual layout are all fairly friendly). Send feedback on specific details; more customization may open up in the future. If you want to change the layout yourself, export to Word and edit it there.
What is the difference between Word and PDF?
Same layout, same content, same options. Two differences only: Word stays editable, and the PDF embeds its fonts so it looks identical on every device, while Word renders with the fonts installed on your machine.
What format is a bilingual SRT?
If you tick "include original + include translation" and export SRT, each subtitle contains two lines, the original and the translation, and the large majority of players that support two-line subtitles will display it properly.
Can I export just one section instead of the whole episode?
Export currently works per episode. If you only need one section, export first and then cut out that part in a text tool or a video editor.
Can I use exported content commercially?
The subtitles are generated from the content you imported. Copyright in the original content belongs to its author, and the exported subtitles are for your own study only. Commercial use has to follow the copyright terms of the original content.
Why do some languages not show pronunciation-guide options?
Pronunciation-guide options only appear when they match the content language — English content will not show a "furigana" switch, for example. Less common languages may not have pronunciation support yet.
