Release notes

Loom shows a second, learner-facing subtitle line on top of YouTube videos: the original-language captions plus phonetic readings — furigana for Japanese, Pinyin / Zhuyin / Jyutping for Chinese, Revised Romanization for Korean, and a full romanization line for Cyrillic, Thai, Indic scripts, Hebrew, and Arabic / Persian / Urdu.

How to use it: open a YouTube video that has captions, click the small “Loom” pill over the player to activate it for that tab, then pick your languages and styling in the settings panel.

In this version:

New global on/off toggle in the toolbar popup — turn Loom off completely on this browser, with no per-page noise, and back on whenever you like.

Per-tab activation: every tab starts dormant; nothing runs until you click the pill, so background YouTube tabs stay idle.

Per-layer styling, position, machine-translation, alternate-orthography ruby, and color presets in the settings panel.

Added a “Support Loom” link to the settings panel.

Loom only sends subtitle text out of your browser, and only for romanization. See the privacy policy: https://loom.nerv-analytic.ai/privacy
