This article focuses on a very simple Windows app that helps in downloading subtitles for any movie or TV series – the SubSearch app. It’s a very lightweight instant subtitle downloader.
This software is a subtitle downloader implemented using the .NET framework. It needs .NET Framework 4.5 to be installed in the system. So, if you do not have it, the installer will install it itself.

Follow the on-screen instructions and install the app to your system.
Now, you can use the app and download the subtitles by just using the Windows Explorer shell context menu.
Go to the folder that contains the movie or TV series for which you want to download the subtitles. Then right click on the movie or TV series name, and click Download Subtitle.
The SubSearch app will open now and display a list of all subtitles available for the movie or TV series. You can just pick the one that you like, and then click Download.
That is it! Your subtitles will be downloaded to the same link as the movie or TV series file. Go ahead, play the video and enjoy the movie with your family along with subtitles of your language.
You can also right click on a folder and check the subtitles for all the video files available inside the folder. If you are facing any issues regarding the app and for any further clarifications, inquiries, questions or bug reports kindly contact https://github.com/tu-tran/SubSearch/issues page.
