Listen to captioned YouTube videos in your language
When a video has captions, EarDub groups short caption fragments into sentences before translating and voicing them. This makes the listening flow easier to follow while the video continues playing. Choose from 17 dubbing languages and more than 60 voices, show or hide bilingual subtitles, and control the two audio tracks. EarDub currently works with captioned YouTube videos.
Open any captioned YouTube video (including auto-generated captions), click the dub button in the player controls, and the dub plays in sync with the picture. No file uploads or editing tools.
EarDub merges caption fragments into full sentences before translating, so the AI sees complete thoughts instead of word-for-word line fragments. Translations are quality-checked and retried automatically when they fall short.
Multiple male and female voices per language, from calm narration to energetic vlog tones, with regional accents. You can switch voices mid-video and the next sentence uses the new voice.
The dub follows the video's word-level timestamps, speeds up gently (up to 1.45x) when it needs to catch up, and realigns when you seek to a different point in the video.
Independent volume sliders for the original soundtrack and the dub — keep the speaker's real voice quietly underneath for emotion and ambience, or mute it entirely.
Show translated subtitles while listening, resize them from 14 to 28 px, or hide them completely.
Dubbing starts only when you click the button, and the extension runs only on youtube.com — it never touches other tabs or sites.
Unlike YouTube's built-in auto-dubbing (limited to creator-enabled videos), EarDub dubs any video with captions, including languages YouTube can't dub such as Turkish, Vietnamese, and Chinese.
Any video with captions works, including the auto-generated ones — which covers most of YouTube.
The button sits in the player controls. One click and EarDub translates the captions and dubs the video.
The dub plays in sync with the picture, so you can watch instead of reading.

EarDub is a free Chrome extension that dubs YouTube videos into your native language. It extracts the video's captions, translates them with AI, generates natural-sounding speech, and plays it in sync with the video. You can dub into 17 languages with 60+ voices.
The free plan includes 30 minutes of dubbing per day, up to 3 videos daily, with each video up to 60 minutes long. Basic is $9.99/month (60 hours per month, videos up to 3 hours, up to 20 videos daily); Pro is $19.99/month with unlimited dubbing time, video length, and daily videos.
17 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Turkish, and Polish — each with multiple natural neural voices (60+ total). Source videos can be in any language that has captions; auto-detection works best with English, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish.
Install from the Chrome Web Store with the 'Add to Chrome' button, then open or refresh any YouTube tab. It officially supports desktop Google Chrome, and dubbing requires a free one-click Google sign-in.
EarDub builds the dub from the video's captions, so a video with no captions at all cannot be dubbed yet. Most popular videos have auto-generated captions that work fine. Speech-recognition support for caption-less videos is planned.
EarDub uses neural text-to-speech voices — the same class used by professional narration tools — not robotic system voices. Each language offers multiple voices with different tones, and you can switch voices mid-video with the change applying to the next sentence immediately.
EarDub works on any captioned video (not just creator-enabled ones), supports languages YouTube can't dub such as Turkish, Vietnamese, and Chinese, offers 60+ selectable voices, context-aware translation, original/dub volume mixing, and only dubs when you ask — versus YouTube's on-by-default auto-dubbing.
Per video: click the settings gear in the player, open 'Audio track', and choose the original language track. As of mid-2026 YouTube offers no reliable account-wide switch to disable auto-dubbing everywhere.
