Watch any video with subtitles in your language

VoxCue detects what language a video is in, transcribes it, and shows translated subtitles on top of the player as it plays. A Japanese tutorial, a German lecture, a Spanish interview — pick your language once and read along.

How it works

Subtitles on the player

Floating captions over any HTML5 video, synced to the speech.

Styled your way

Choose size, position, colour theme and background opacity.

Subtitles for videos that don’t have them

YouTube can auto-translate captions on some videos, but most of the web can’t: Vimeo, course platforms, company videos and news sites often have no subtitles at all, let alone in your language.

VoxCue fills that gap. It gets the words — from the video’s captions where they exist, or by transcribing the audio live where they don’t — translates them into the language you chose, and draws them over the video in time with the speech.

Languages you can read subtitles in

English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Filipino — or keep the original audio language. The spoken language is detected automatically, so you never have to set it.

Made to be read comfortably

Subtitles are only useful if you can read them. Choose small, normal, large or extra-large text; place them at the bottom, centre or top of the player; and pick a theme — cinema yellow, high contrast, translucent glass and others — with adjustable background opacity so they stay legible on bright and dark scenes alike.

Want to keep the translation? Export the subtitles as SRT or VTT, or the transcript as plain text.
