YouTube AI dubbing and translated subtitles
Does dubly.me work on YouTube? Yes. Open a video that has captions, press Dub, and dubly.me reads each line aloud in your language while the video plays. You can also choose translated subtitles only, with no voice.

How it works
Three steps on YouTube
- 1
Open a video with captions
Uploaded captions and YouTube's auto-generated captions both work. dubly.me translates from them, so the video needs at least one track.
- 2
Choose your language and mode
In the dubly.me popup, pick the language you want to hear and Dubbed voice, Subtitles or Both.
- 3
Press Dub
dubly.me starts reading the captions in your language. Dubbing pauses while an ad plays.
Before you start
What YouTube dubbing needs
The video needs captions, uploaded by the author or auto-generated by YouTube. dubly.me does not use audio transcription on YouTube.
- Pages
- YouTube watch pages, Shorts and m.youtube.com. YouTube players embedded on other sites are not supported.
- Caption choice
- Human-written English captions first, then auto-generated English, then the first track available.
- Caption type
- The popup shows whether the captions are human-written or auto-generated. With auto-generated captions, dubbing quality may vary.
- Video speed
- When a translated line is long, dubly.me slows the video slightly so the voice can finish.
- Ads
- Dubbing pauses while an ad plays.
- Browsers
- Chrome and Firefox. Firefox on Android works on m.youtube.com.
Questions
YouTube questions
Why does dubly.me say this video has no captions?
dubly.me translates the video's captions. If the author uploaded none and YouTube has not generated any, there is nothing to translate. Try another video, or check the CC button in the YouTube player.
Can I get only translated subtitles, without a voice?
Yes. Choose Subtitles in the popup. dubly.me shows the translated line on the video and does not speak. It uses the same daily minutes as dubbing.
Is dubly.me free on YouTube?
Yes. You get 10 minutes a day without an account and 30 minutes a day with a free account, translated with YouTube’s own auto-translate. The Basic plan (€5 a month) gives up to 9 hours of dubbing a day and AI translation as an option.
Does it work on YouTube videos embedded on other websites?
No. Open the video on youtube.com and press Dub there.
