Alternatives to Open Subtitles? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm not a fan of the turns Open Subtitles has made toward monetisation, ad injection etc. — particularly not considering the unpaid volunteer work that has gone into their offerings. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was their "AI" subtitles, though.

I don't know if they sincerely think what they're doing is related to AI, the results I've had the misfortune of downloading was subpar speech-to-text gibberish. And from what I can tell they're even charging for generating those.

So, as I ask in the title, what alternatives to Open Subtitles are currently available for Kodi? I've used Subscene in the past but the add-on stopped working — or maybe I just need to look into the settings again?

Ah yes, bazarr could be a workaround. Another incitement to get my *arr box set up again!
