Unlike anime or J-dramas, JAV never comes with official English subtitles. You're on your own.
Maybe 1% of titles have fan-made subs — and finding them is a gamble. Most content has nothing.
The few AI-generated subs out there are inaccurate, poorly timed, and often unreadable.

"I've been looking for something like this for years. The subtitles are surprisingly accurate and the whole thing runs without internet. Exactly what I needed."

It won't catch every poetic nuance a human translator would, but it's easily good enough to follow along and enjoy.
