Chinese courses and dramas in English

Translate Chinese video to English while you watch

To translate Chinese video to English, just press play. DubMog listens to the Chinese in a course, a lecture, a drama or a live stream and speaks it in English a few seconds later, with a live transcript. Your eyes stay on the slides or the scene instead of on subtitles, and there's nothing to upload. Chrome, Edge, iPhone and Android all work. For an English copy of your own video, use Dub a File.

Standard: free on iPhone, Android, Chrome and Edge. Pro Live: faster, with a natural AI voice in 80+ languages.

Ways to follow Chinese video in English

Chinese courses in Chrome or Edge

Open the lesson in a tab and press Start. The English dub runs over the teacher's voice, and the transcript builds up in the side panel.

Chinese dramas on iPhone Pro Live

Watching a drama in another app? Live System Dub speaks its Chinese audio in English in real time, unless the app protects its audio; then DubMog says so and stops.

Chinese video in Android apps Pro Live

Dub Any App, on Android 10 or newer, keeps working when you switch to the app showing the Chinese video: you hear it in English, live.

Dub a File for your own lessons

Recorded your own lesson in Chinese? Dub a File makes an English-dubbed version, saved on your phone.

Chinese courses, lectures and dramas

From Chinese to English in 3 steps

Get the extension or the app

A computer needs the Chrome or Edge extension; a phone needs the iPhone or Android app.

Choose English to hear

The video's language is detected for you, or you can pick Chinese yourself.

Start the lesson

Hit play, then Start: the English comes a few seconds after the teacher speaks.

Chinese (Mandarin) and Chinese (Taiwan)

In Chrome, the free Standard mode lists two Chinese options among its 23 video languages: Chinese (Mandarin) and Chinese (Taiwan). It speaks the English about 4 seconds per phrase; Chrome sets each pair, so the panel's tags have the last word. Prefer a natural AI voice and a 3.3-second median delay? That's Pro Live, which covers 80+ languages, Chinese included.

Costs for courses and dramas

Taking a whole course? Standard in Chrome is free and has no daily limit once you have a free account (30 minutes a day without one), and Standard is also free on iPhone, Android and Edge. In Pro Live, DubMog Pro's 600 monthly minutes ($9.99 a month or $79.99 a year) cover about five hours of lessons, since Live uses 2 Pro minutes per minute. Packs of 60 minutes for $1.99 or 180 for $4.99 are one-time, never expire, and count 3 minutes per minute of Live.

Your questions about Chinese video

Does Standard in Chrome hear Mandarin?

Yes. Standard, which is free in Chrome, lists Chinese (Mandarin) and Chinese (Taiwan) among its 23 video languages.

Can I follow a course taught in Chinese in English?

Yes. Open the lesson on Udemy, Coursera, edX or any course site in Chrome or Edge and press Start. There's no per-video length limit, and the transcript shows in the side panel.

Can I watch Chinese dramas in English?

In a Chrome or Edge tab, DubMog dubs whatever the tab plays. On phones, Live System Dub (iPhone) and Dub Any App (Android, Pro Live) dub what another app plays, unless it protects its audio. DubMog doesn't bypass copy protection and tells you when something comes through silent.

Does DubMog know the video is in Chinese?

Yes, it detects the video's language. You can also choose Chinese yourself.

Can I keep an English copy of my Chinese video?

Yes, for a video you own or are allowed to use, like a lesson you recorded: Dub a File saves an English-dubbed copy on your phone.

Do I need an account?

Not to start: Standard in Chrome and Edge gives 30 minutes a day without one. A free account makes Standard in Chrome and Edge unlimited, and one account (Google, Apple or email) keeps your minutes and Pro in sync everywhere.
