The Greenfish Subtitle Player is a free subtitle program that adds text to video applications.

Hearing problems are a common and there are many people who need subtitles to help them enjoy videos online. The Greenfish Subtitle Player is a handy tool for people who use Windows XP or earlier versions of Windows. It's not going to be of use to people who use later versions of Windows but this is among its only pitfalls.

There haven't been many updates to the program so what you get is pretty much a complete version in 1.0. It's a very light subtitle tool which is handy for people who have systems that aren't quite as powerful as newer models. India is the country that tends to use this software the most but it also has a respectable following in the United States as well.

The interface is straight forward and simple. You're not going to get a load of features with this subtitle player but you'll get enough to make it worth your while. It gives you subtitles that are easy to read and crystal clear on your screen, so if you're in the hunt for a good subtitle player and don't want to take up a lot of space on your system, this one is very good.

Pros

  • Easy interface to use and no learning curve at all
  • Read subtitles as you watch your videos
  • Works for older models of computer and for older operating systems, with very small storage space taken up

Cons

  • Only works for Windows XP and older versions of Windows
  • Doesn't have many additional features
  • It's not been updated for a very long time

All in all, a fine subtitle program with no frills.
