Movie vocabulary from its subtitles
This tool reads a subtitle file and works out the number that matters: what share of the running words you already know at your vocabulary size. It then collects the unknown ones — ranked by frequency, with transcription, CEFR level and the line they came from — and shows how many you would have to learn to cross the comprehension threshold. The list exports to Anki or CSV.
