I’m not a fan of the turns Open Subtitles has made toward monetisation, ad injection etc. — particularly not considering the unpaid volunteer work that has gone into their offerings. The straw that broke the camel’s back for me was their “AI” subtitles, though.

I don’t know if they sincerely think what they’re doing is related to AI, the results I’ve had the misfortune of downloading was subpar speech-to-text gibberish. And from what I can tell they’re even charging for generating those.

So, as I ask in the title, what alternatives to Open Subtitles are currently available for Kodi? I’ve used Subscene in the past but the add-on stopped working — or maybe I just need to look into the settings again?

    Have you set up anything else since posting this? Also curious about it. I haven’t come across any generated subtitles (I think), but had some problems after updating Kodi and the add-on no longer working.
