You download a foreign language movie. You look for a subtitle in one of the subtitle sites. But you can’t find the subtitle with exact name of the copy of the movie you have. So you blindly download one subtitle, extract it and start the movie with it. But the timings are not in sync. Frustrated, you download another subtitle, only to find that it is the same subtitle as the first one. If the site has 30 subtitles for the movie, you ll have to download and check each of those manually before you find the exact one or give up in frustration.

How titley helps-

Titley helps you in this situation by.

1. You call titley with an IMDB id or a part of the movie name (In which case it will search OMDB database for the matching movies and you will be able to select the movie from the list shown). 1. One the right movie is selected, it will go and fetch all available subtitles for a movie from a subtitle site. 2. Extract all of them and search for a medium length and non-repeating dialog among subtitles. It will then list all the retrieved subtitles with the time that particular dialog appear in each of them. You can play your movie and find the time that dialog plays. Once you find the approximate time, you can select the subtitle with the closest time.
