Open Caption Finder vs CinemaCC

Open Caption Finder helps moviegoers find Open Caption (OC) showtimes nearby or anywhere in the US. What are Open Captions? Open Captions are subtitles displayed directly on the movie screen, no special glasses or devices needed. Unlike Closed Captions, everyone in the theater can see them. Features: • Search by location to find OC showtimes within 25 miles, or anywhere in the US • See showtimes for the next 7 days • Tap any showtime to go directly to a ticket purchase • Heart your favorite showtimes • Report missing or incorrect OC listings to help the community • See the top community contributors leaderboard We cover 3000+ theaters, including major chains, indie cinemas, and film festivals: AMC Theatres Regal Cinemark Alamo Drafthouse Angelika Film Centers Apple Cinemas Megaplex Theatres Galaxy Theatres Sundance Film Festival SXSW Slamdance and many more festivals nationwide with more theaters, festivals and showtimes added regularly. Why we built this Our co-founder is deaf, and we’re film nerds. We wanted to make the process of finding OC easier. Our approach is to aggregate data from major theater chains and independent cinemas so you can spend less time searching and more time enjoying movies. Made by a deaf person, free for everybody.  Enjoy!

The film plays on the big screen. The subtitles are on your phone, in the language you read. CinemaCC turns your iPhone into a private subtitle companion for films on a cinema screen, TV, computer, or projector. Find or import one or two tracks, prepare the languages you want, then tap Enter theater. YOUR SUBTITLES, YOUR LANGUAGES - Find one or two matching subtitle tracks through TMDB and OpenSubtitles, or use one or two SRT files you already have - Import SRT or ZIP files from Files, a secure link, or another app, then assign each track’s role and language. - If a selected language has no matching subtitle, ask CinemaCC to notify you when one becomes available. - Library keeps prepared films and their subtitle packages ready to use again. - If no matching subtitle track is available, preview a source and optionally purchase one AI translation. Each purchase or credit covers one translation; completed results can be reused. HOW IT WORKS - The player opens paused. Tap Play at the film’s first frame, then follow the subtitles in sync. - Landscape uses the full height for subtitles. Browse lines, use Jump here, and move the floating timing controls without covering the cue actions. - On supported phones, Find My Place uses the microphone and on-device speech recognition to match a few seconds of dialogue and recover your position. - On supported phones, Spoken Subtitles can read the current subtitle line through connected private headphones. Every film. Your language. - A near-black display and brightness controls are designed to keep glow and distraction low. - Screen stays awake for the whole film - Prepared screenings remain available offline; online search and AI translation require an internet connection. - Supports common SRT text encodings from different sources. iPhone and Apple Watch - Keep recent prepared screenings on Apple Watch for offline bilingual playback, line browsing, and playback controls. Siri and Shortcuts — iOS 18+ - CinemaCC actions can find movie subtitles, open a movie, search for the current movie, or show prepared films. - Press and hold the CinemaCC Home Screen icon to open Find subtitles, Library, or Import subtitles directly. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No CinemaCC account, ads, or advertising tracking; an OpenSubtitles account is optional and used only for provider downloads - Your CinemaCC Library is stored locally. Find My Place microphone audio is processed on-device and not uploaded. Whether it is a film that never got subtitles in your language, fast dialogue in your second language, or a movie night with someone who reads a different language than you — CinemaCC keeps you in the story.
