Video composition and export is in Beta. YouTube / X policy or technical changes may temporarily make it unstable or unavailable. If it fails, refresh the original video and retry.

Frequently asked questions

Which videos and devices work, and how do I start?

  • Online videos: Ordinary videos on YouTube, X, Bilibili, P**nhub and Mis**V are supported; live streams are not.
  • Local videos: Playable local files work on computers and phones without an extension.
  • Getting started: Create a free account, then use the player for local files or install the desktop Chrome extension for website videos.

Can I translate videos without subtitles, and how does it differ from platform translation?

  • Subtitle source: Yes: when usable subtitles are absent, we recognize speech and translate it; supported native or embedded text subtitles are translated directly, faster and with fewer points.
  • The difference: Platform translation usually needs existing subtitles; we can also generate missing ones and display the original, translation or both.

Which languages are supported?

  • Subtitle language: Translate subtitles into 74 languages.
  • Interface languages: Choose from a separate set of 13 interface languages.
  • Source language: For audio recognition, the source language can be detected automatically or set manually; local embedded subtitles use the track’s declared language.

How good is the translation quality?

Recognition and translation are both done by large models, processing 30-second segments with context. Accents, background music, overlapping speakers and technical terms can still cause errors, so treat subtitles as a reference.

How long before subtitles appear?

They are generated as you watch: the first segment takes a moment, then they appear as playback continues. Segments already generated are reused instantly.

Can I adjust how subtitles look?

Yes. Adjust font size, line spacing, background and position, and switch between original, translated or bilingual subtitles. These settings are available in the local player and the extension.

Is it free? How is it billed?

  • New subtitles: Sign-up includes a one-time 20 points: audio recognition costs 1 point/minute and existing subtitle translation 0.2 points/minute.
  • Processing charges: Segments without speech are charged; failed processing is not.
  • Free reuse: Completed subtitles for the same video, source and languages are free to reuse across accounts, even with no points left.

Can I export subtitles, subtitled videos or share them?

  • Subtitle files: SRT / VTT are subtitle files loaded by a player; MP4 burns subtitles into the picture.
  • Video export: Video export is Beta for local videos, YouTube and X on desktop Chrome; partial generation means only completed segments show subtitles.
  • Sharing: YouTube / X subtitles can be shared by link; sharing and export never fill missing segments automatically.

Is my video uploaded, and what does sharing make public?

  • What is sent: The original video is not uploaded; only necessary audio segments or subtitle text are sent for processing, and audio is deleted afterward or cleaned up after recovery from an interruption.
  • Original video: Share links send viewers back to YouTube / X, without hosting the video.
  • Public information: Video and language information you actively share is public in the subtitle catalog and may be indexed by search engines.
