Yep, same with TV shows, and soft-copies of transcripts are difficult to come by, hence my interest in something like this.

I just watched the video. When used on a video does it keep a history of all OCRed text?

Finally, you might also like to try posting this on http://www.chinese-forums.com If it mostly works well for TV and films, I'm sure there will be quite a few people there who are interested in it.

Not yet - but this feature is already on my todo list ;)

Thanks for the hint about the chinese forums!

Another interesting feature would be to do some sort of statistical analysis of Chinese text being OCRed and then combining that with possible characters suggested by the OCR. This would almost certainly prevent the mistake in the last two characters of the Chinese movie screenshot.
