Sentence mining from the line you just heard
Pause, tokenize, keep the reading and the gloss, export to Anki, press play. Miteiru is a free desktop miner for people who already have a deck — not a replacement SRS.
Sentence mining only works if the capture is cheaper than skipping the line. Miteiru keeps capture inside the player: click a word, or open Learn mode on the whole subtitle, then send the card to Anki with the reading already sitting on the expression.
Two export paths
Meaning box (one word)
Click a token. Copy plain text or ruby HTML, add a note, or export to Anki from that panel. Useful when one lemma is the whole reason you paused.
Learn mode (the line)
Ctrl+Shift+L tokenizes the sentence, runs optional AI translation and grammar notes, and builds a sentence card. Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Vietnamese each have their own reading layer (furigana, jyutping, pinyin).
What you are not getting
Miteiru is not subs2srs. It will not slice an entire episode into thousands of cards while you make coffee. It is also not Migaku’s built-in SRS. Cards land in your Anki collection, which is the point if you already trust FSRS and a note type you spent years tuning.
Screenshot-plus-audio packs from Netflix are still a browser-extension specialty. See the Migaku comparison if that is the workflow you wanted to clone.
A sane mining rule
Mine lines you almost understood. If you need the English subtitle to survive the sentence, watch more and mine less. Dual subtitles in Miteiru make that judgment easier: target language up, translation track only when you peek.
For show-based Japanese setup, start with learn Japanese with anime. For Yue, use jyutping on Cantonese subtitles.
FAQ
Does Miteiru export to Anki?
Yes. Send a single word from the meaning box, or build a sentence card in Learn mode with readings and glosses included. Anki itself stays the SRS — Miteiru does not trap cards in a paid review app.
Is this like subs2srs or asbplayer?
Same hobby, different shape. subs2srs batch-cuts a whole episode. asbplayer is often used in the browser. Miteiru is a desktop player: mine the line you are looking at, then keep watching.

Cantonese with jyutping
Few immersion tools take jyutping seriously. Miteiru overlays it on your own subtitles.
