Install one add-on, click once, press Start. DubMog for Microsoft Edge listens to the video in your tab and speaks it in your language while it plays, with a live transcript in the side panel. Its free Standard mode dubs into 70+ languages in Edge. Pro Live, the natural AI voice, covers 80+.
We build DubMog. This guide covers the parts that are different in Edge: the one click Edge needs before an add-on can hear a tab, what the free mode sends to Microsoft, and what each message in the panel means. Everything here was checked against DubMog for Edge, version 0.7.14.
Set it up in Edge, in five steps
- Get DubMog from Microsoft Edge Add-ons. It's free. The free Standard mode needs Edge 151 or newer. To check your version: Settings and more (…) › Help and feedback › About Microsoft Edge.
- Show it in the toolbar. Click the puzzle icon 🧩, then the eye icon 👁 next to DubMog.
- Open the video and press play. Any normal website tab with sound works: YouTube, online courses, lectures, podcasts, live streams.
- Give DubMog the tab, with one click. Click the DubMog icon, press Alt+Shift+D (Option+Shift+D on a Mac), or right-click the page and choose Dub this video with DubMog. Edge only lets an add-on hear a tab after one of these, so it's the first step on each tab you dub.
- Pick a mode and your languages, then start. Choose Standard (free) or Live, set Video language to the language being spoken, pick yours under Dub into, and press Start dubbing. The original audio ducks underneath while the translation speaks.
The first time you use a language pair in Standard, Edge downloads it once. The tag ↓ download marks those pairs: press the ⬇ Install button, and the pair (a few MB) is ready from then on. If the panel says Edge allows one download per click — one more click finishes it., click once more. Pairs tagged ✓ Standard are ready; Live only means Standard can't dub into that language on this computer.
While it dubs, the panel writes down every translated line, in Standard and in Live. When the video ends, open Transcript and press Copy all or Download .txt. The transcript stays on your computer and is cleared when you close the browser, so download it to keep it.

In Standard, the video can be in any of the 23 languages the Video language picker offers, from English, Spanish and Portuguese to Japanese, Korean, Hindi and Arabic. For the full list and how the free mode works, see our guide to free AI dubbing; it covers Chrome and Edge.
What Edge's free mode sends to Microsoft
- Edge, Standard: the tab's audio is sent to Microsoft's online speech service to be turned into text, and the voice can be a Microsoft online voice. The translation runs on your computer.
- Chrome, Standard: speech recognition and translation run inside Chrome, so the video's audio stays on your computer. The voice is one of Chrome's online Google voices, so the translated text is sent to Google to be spoken. If keeping the audio on your computer matters to you, use the free mode in Chrome.
- Pro Live, anywhere: the audio goes to Google's Gemini in the moment, and DubMog doesn't keep it.

If you see one of these messages
- “Edge needs one click…”
- DubMog can't hear the tab yet. Click the DubMog icon in the toolbar, or press Alt+Shift+D; dubbing then starts by itself.
- “Edge can't capture this page — try a normal website tab.”
- Edge's own pages, such as a new tab or Settings, can't be dubbed. Open the video's website.
- “Edge doesn't allow dubbing on the Edge Add-ons page — open a video site.”
- The store page itself is off limits to add-ons.
- “This page has no audio Edge can capture — open a site with sound.”
- Nothing in the tab is playing sound. Press play first.
- “Nothing is playing on this tab yet.”
- Press play: DubMog starts dubbing as soon as it hears sound.
- “The sound is coming from another tab…”
- DubMog dubs the one tab you started it on. Stop, open the tab that's making sound, click the DubMog icon there and start again.
- “This tab is playing silent or protected audio — there's nothing to dub. Try a different video or site.”
- Some sites protect their audio, so those videos stay silent to DubMog. Most video sites work. We make no promise about any particular streaming service.
- “No … voice on this computer — Edge will use the closest one.”
- Standard speaks with the voices Edge has for that language. Pro Live brings its own natural voice.
- “Standard isn't available on this device for this pair — use Live.”
- Edge can't run this language pair for free on your computer. Live works in every language it lists.
- “Standard needs Edge 151 or newer — use Live.”
- Update Edge (Settings and more › Help and feedback › About Microsoft Edge), or use Live.
What to dub in Edge
- Online courses and lectures, such as Udemy and Coursera. How to dub a course, step by step →
- YouTube, podcasts and live streams, while they play.
- Interviews and talks, where one person speaks at a time. When people talk over each other, the dub follows one of them.
Expect the dub a few seconds behind the speaker: in our October tests in Chrome, Pro Live started speaking a median of 3.3 seconds after the person on screen. Our measured numbers →
On a Windows PC: dub everything, not just a tab
The Edge add-on dubs one browser tab. The DubMog app for Windows dubs everything your PC plays, with Pro Live. It's a free download from the Microsoft Store and uses the same account and minutes. On a phone, the DubMog app for iPhone and Android has its own free Standard mode.
Quick answers
Can Microsoft Edge translate the audio of a video?
With an add-on, yes. DubMog for Microsoft Edge dubs the speech in a tab into your language while the video plays, with a live transcript. Its free Standard mode covers 70+ languages in Edge, and Pro Live's natural AI voice covers 80+.
Is DubMog free in Edge?
Yes. Standard is free: 30 minutes a day without an account and unlimited with a free account. Pro Live is paid, and the panel offers a free taste of it a few times a day.
Why do I have to click the DubMog icon first?
Edge only lets an add-on hear a tab after you give it a click on that tab. Click the DubMog icon, press Alt+Shift+D, or right-click the page and choose “Dub this video with DubMog”.
Is my audio sent anywhere?
In Edge's free mode, yes: the tab's audio is sent to Microsoft's online speech service to be turned into text, and the voice can be a Microsoft online voice. The translation runs on your computer. Pro Live sends the audio to Google's Gemini in the moment, and DubMog doesn't keep it.
Does it work in Edge on a Mac?
Yes. Edge on a Mac runs the same add-on, and we test every release in it. If Standard can't start for a language pair on your computer, the panel says so, and Pro Live still works.
Is it the same account as the DubMog app?
Yes. Sign in with Google, Apple or email, and your minutes and Pro status are shared with the iPhone and Android apps, the Chrome extension, the Windows app and the website.
Try it on what you're watching
Standard is free, so trying it on your own videos costs nothing. If the voice or the language list isn't enough, switch to Live in the same panel.
DubMog is also free on iPhone and Android, with the same account.
