I am really surprised Japanese is not an option. This is awesome by the way.

  Japanese subtitles are hard to find for various reasons, one of which is that Japanese DVDs and blurays often come without them.

    What about fansubs? The right people could tell you which sub groups are the most trustworthy. Perhaps another option could be incorporating music lyrics, as there are many sites that list Japanese, romaji (romanized Japanese), and English lyrics beside each other that you can scrape. In case you didn't already know, subs.com.ru is a great source of anime fansubs (no video, just the subs). There's also opensubtitles.com, but I'm not sure how to heuristically determine what the quality subtitles are. I can understand if you're hesitant to use unlicensed translations, but I've found that licensed subs hardly compare to a quality fansub group.

      That relies on you wanting to watch things that tend to get fansubs, though. As a mostly-deaf foreigner living in Japan, I tend to watch/want to watch a lot of things that don't get fansubbed, like news, foreign shows/movies, variety shows, cooking shows, and tons of domestic-only movies/shows that don't get much international attention.
