Smart Subtitles: word-by-word highlighting for Japanese

Live for everyone, right now.

Watching a Japanese video with Smart Subtitles on? The word being spoken lights up as you go, so your eye stays with the voice instead of hunting for the spot. That highlight was missing on Japanese: the coloured underlines showed up, but nothing followed along.

Japanese runs on without spaces between words, so before anything can light up we have to work out where each word begins and ends. Getting that right for Japanese took a while, and now the highlight tracks the voice there like it does everywhere else.
