Anime, J-dramas and streams in English

Japanese to English video translator, live

Translate Japanese video to English while you watch. DubMog is a live Japanese to English video translator: it listens to the anime, drama or stream and speaks it in English a few seconds later, with a live transcript. You hear the story instead of reading subtitles, and there's nothing to upload. Watch in Chrome or Edge, or on an iPhone or Android phone. Want an English-dubbed copy of your own Japanese video? Dub a File makes one.

Standard is free on iPhone, Android, Chrome and Edge. For a natural AI voice, Pro Live covers 80+ languages.

How the live dub works

In a Chrome or Edge tab

Open the episode or stream in a tab and press Start. English plays over the Japanese, and the side panel keeps the transcript.

Japanese audio on iPhone Pro Live

Live System Dub speaks the Japanese another app plays in English, in real time. Streaming apps that protect their audio come through silent; DubMog says so and stops.

Japanese video in Android apps Pro Live

On Android 10 or newer, Dub Any App keeps dubbing after you switch to the app you're watching, turning its Japanese into English live. Apps that block their audio can't be dubbed.

Watch Japanese video in English in 3 steps

Get DubMog

On a computer, the extension goes in Chrome or Edge; on a phone, it's the iPhone or Android app.

Choose English

DubMog hears that it's Japanese on its own, and you can set Japanese yourself too.

Press Start on the episode

The English comes a few seconds after each speaker, scene after scene.

Japanese: the free Chrome mode or Pro Live

Start with Standard in Chrome, which is free: it hears Japanese among its 23 video languages and speaks the English about 4 seconds per phrase. Check the panel's tags for your pair, because Chrome decides which ones work. Pro Live adds a natural AI voice in 80+ languages, Japanese included, and runs a median 3.3 seconds behind the speaker.

Anime and Japanese video: questions

Can I watch anime in English with DubMog?

In Chrome, DubMog dubbed Crunchyroll when the DubMog team tested it on October 31, 2026. It dubs the sound Chrome gives the tab, doesn't bypass copy protection, and tells you if a tab comes through silent.

Does this Japanese to English video translator speak or show subtitles?

It speaks. DubMog says the Japanese in English a few seconds after the speaker, with a live transcript, so your eyes stay on the scene.

Can I use the free Chrome mode for Japanese?

Yes. Japanese is among the 23 video languages Standard hears in Chrome; you get 30 minutes a day without an account and no limit with a free account.

Can I watch a VTuber or gaming stream in English?

Yes, on YouTube in Chrome or Edge: press Start on the stream's tab and the English runs a few seconds behind the streamer, with no per-video length limit.

Can I keep an English dub of my own Japanese video?

Yes. Dub a File makes an English-dubbed copy of a video you made, saved on your phone. It's only for videos you own or are allowed to use, so not an anime episode you're streaming.
