ALLPlayer 5.0-Video player with smart subtitle function

ALLPlayer at first seems like any other free media player - it can play
multiple formats, supports subtitles, is lightweight etc. However, the
interesting thing about ALLPlayer is that it features something called "IQ
Text" which analyzes the length of subtitles, keeping them displayed on the
screen for long enough so that you can read everything. It can also "speak"
subtitles which is a great feature for kids learning another language
although apart from that, I can't see much use for it. The voices predictably
however are very robotic and stilted. In addition, ALLPlayer has an
interesting "Desktop mode" which allows you to play the video as if it were
part of your wallpaper. To cap it all, it can also retrieve subtitles
automatically from Opensubtitles.org although this is the poorest performing
part of ALLPlayer. The subtitles it retrieves are often either wrong, don't
work or it doesn't retrieve them at all. Apart from that, ALLPlayer is pretty
much like any other free media player although it's elegant and easy to use
to boot and like all good players, you can also change the skins. *Compact
and great for subtitling, ALLPlayer definitely brings something new to the
player market and if you rely on subtitles, you should definitely give it a
try.*Download *ALLPlayer 5.0* in Softonic
