Translate Foreign TV Shows & Movies in Real Time
K-dramas, anime, foreign films, live TV — Whisperr translates the audio live in 100+ languages, so you can watch anything without waiting for subtitles. ~0.2s latency.
- 1
Open a foreign-language show or film on YouTube
Any show, film or trailer on YouTube, in the new tab. Leave it paused for now.
- 2
Pick your languages
Set the spoken language of the video and the language you want to read. Tab capture is already selected.
- 3
Press Record, then pick that tab
Choose the YouTube tab in the picker, tick Share tab audio, and press play. Translated subtitles appear here as the actors speak.
- 4
Pop the subtitles out over the video
Opens the subtitles in a small window that stays on top, so you can watch in the other tab and still read along.
When the tab picker opens, tick Share tab audio — without it there is no sound to translate.
Netflix, Prime Video and other protected players block browser tab capture. On Mac or Windows, choose System audio in the Whisperr desktop app instead. It captures TV apps and anything else playing on the computer.
How to translate foreign TV and movies
Works across streaming services, live TV, and downloaded files.

Floating subtitles on iOS & Android

System audio on Mac or Windows
The Whisperr desktop app captures your computer’s system audio directly — the most flexible option, since it works no matter which app, browser, or player the show is in.

Browser tab capture (Chrome Extension or Web App)
On a computer where you can’t install the desktop app, play the show in a Chrome tab and capture the tab audio with the Whisperr Chrome Extension or Web App. Split the screen to read translated subtitles beside it.

What users say
Whisperr review
“I love how easy Whisperr is to use and how it accurately understands and translates text and speech across different languages. It's so effective that even in scenarios where other tools might fail, Whisperr performs perfectly. Additionally, the ability to select languages for translation directly on a phone is fantastic. This feature helps us translate church services, ensuring everyone understands without missing anything important. The initial setup was straightforward, making it smooth to start using immediately.”
Fast Translations and a Clear, Easy-to-Read Layout
“It translated really fast, and the way the text appears on the screen—with its clear layout—is very easy to read.”
Whisperr Delivers Lightning-Fast, Highly Accurate Real-Time Translation
“The translation is extremely fast and accurate; after comparing several programs, I consider Whisperr to be the fastest and most accurate real-time translation app.”
Top-Notch Speech Recognition and Flashcard-Style Translations for Fast Study
“Whisperr's speech recognition and translation quality are both top-notch, and better than similar tools I've tried so far. Beyond that, as a Japanese learner, I especially like how Whisperr displays each sentence and its translation almost like flashcards, with a text-to-speech button for each one. That setup makes studying feel fast and efficient, and it's easy to review sentence by sentence.”
Simple Real-Time Translation for Work
“I like best about Whisperr is that it feels simple and straightforward to use.”
Awesome
“This is very useful, extremely user-friendly, easy to use, and the recognition capability is very precise, with very fast speed. It should be the most accurate and fastest translation I've used so far.”
Easy to use
“Whisperr is easy to get started and no hassle at all. A great tool to learn languages and for travelling.”
Exceptional outcomes
“I attempted English to Hindi translation and achieved highly accurate results.”
Amazing
“Using it for Spanish to English and it’s amazing!”
Worth hundreds of thousands of yen
“The same performance as other conversation translation apps. Those charge by the minute, but this one is apparently a one-time purchase, so the value for money is outstanding. Compared with about five similar apps, this one is the best on both performance and price. I wonder whether it was made by a Japanese developer??”
