Cantonese immersion with jyutping on the subtitle
Most immersion tools were built for Japanese first. Miteiru overlays jyutping, looks up CC-Canto, and handles MKVs that ship both Cantonese and Mandarin audio.
If you have tried to learn Cantonese from HK films or YouTube and bounced off tools that only offer pinyin — or no reading at all — this is the gap Miteiru was built to fill. Jyutping sits on the line. The dictionary is CC-Canto. The file can be a local .mkv with two audio tracks.
What “first-class Cantonese” means here
- Jyutping ruby generated on your subtitle track, not a screenshot of someone else’s sheet.
- CC-Canto in the meaning box when you click a token.
- Audio-track picking when the container has Cantonese and Mandarin (a very normal TVB / film dump situation).
- Learn mode aimed at the line you paused on: glossary, notes, Anki-ready cards.
Files, not a streaming catalog
Miteiru will not inject jyutping into Netflix. Bring your own file or a YouTube URL, plus a subtitle if the video does not already have one. That is a worse sentence for marketing and a better sentence for people who actually have a folder of movies.
If your whole library is Disney+ in Chrome, a browser suite such as Migaku is still the closer tool. If your library is files, this player is the free alternative that does not treat Yue as an afterthought.
Mandarin in the same app
Switch the home-screen stack to Mandarin and you get pinyin and CC-CEDICT instead. Same window, same Anki export, same dual-subtitle layout. Useful if your household watches both, or if a single disc has both tracks.
Vietnamese is the fourth stack (VNEDict). Japanese is documented separately in learn Japanese with anime.
FAQ
Does Miteiru show jyutping on Cantonese subtitles?
Yes. Jyutping is generated above the subtitle line while you watch, with optional English glosses underneath. Click a token for the CC-Canto entry.
Can I pick Cantonese audio on a bilingual MKV?
Yes. When a file has multiple audio tracks (often Cantonese and Mandarin), Miteiru lets you choose a track, remux, or play the default.
