About Echo Captions: Video & Subtitle Translator
Echo Captions is a video translation and subtitle translation extension for YouTube, Twitch, Kick and Crunchyroll. No setup after install: open a YouTube video and translated captions appear by themselves. On YouTube videos Echo translates the video's captions (auto-generated ones included); on live streams, real-time AI speech recognition listens, translates what is said and shows clean translated subtitles right on top of the video — watch any video or live stream in your own language.
Want to watch an English video with subtitles in your language? Need a live interpreter for a Twitch or Kick stream? Following a YouTube video or anime in a language you don't speak? Echo Captions does it for you.
AFTER INSTALLING
1. Add the extension — a short welcome page and demo video let you try it in seconds.
2. Open any YouTube video — translated captions start by themselves. No clicks, no setup. Echo picks the language you read from your browser's language settings; you can change it anytime from the popup.
3. The Echo button in the player turns captions on and off anytime.
On Crunchyroll, translated subtitles start by themselves too. On live streams (YouTube Live, Twitch, Kick), one click on the Echo button starts translation.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Self-starting translation — captions open automatically on YouTube videos and Crunchyroll episodes; turn them off with one click if you prefer.
• YouTube video translation — translated subtitles from the video's captions, auto-generated ones included, with smart caching so rewatches load instantly. If a video has no captions at all, Echo says so on the video.
• Live stream translation — YouTube Live, Twitch and Kick need no captions: Echo turns speech into translated subtitles in real time, a few seconds behind the speaker. It understands 60+ spoken languages, from Japanese and Korean to Turkish and Russian.
• One color per speaker — when several people talk on a live stream, each voice gets its own color.
• Crunchyroll anime subtitles — official subtitles translated into your language, built-in subtitles hidden.
• Dual subtitles (bilingual) — translation and original line together; follow the meaning in your language while seeing what was said.
• Transcript panel — a scrollable, searchable transcript that follows the video like a prompter.
• Full subtitle customization — font, size, background opacity and position; separate styles for YouTube, live streams and Crunchyroll.
• Echo in your language — menus and notices in every language Echo translates into.
TRANSLATE INTO 81 LANGUAGES
English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Dutch, Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Belarusian, Turkish, Greek, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Slovenian, Macedonian, Albanian, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Icelandic, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Welsh, Catalan, Basque, Galician, Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, Pashto, Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Odia, Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Sinhala, Nepali, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Malay, Filipino, Khmer, Lao, Burmese, Mongolian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Azerbaijani, Georgian, Swahili, Amharic, Somali, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Zulu and Afrikaans. For example: watch an English video with Polish subtitles, or Japanese anime with Traditional Chinese subtitles.
FREE AND PAID
Free every day, no card: about 5 minutes of video translation (about 25 on your first day), and about 10 when you sign in with Google. Live streams use the allowance faster. Paid plans start at $1.99 a month: echolocalize.xyz/pricing

WHY ECHO CAPTIONS
You shouldn't miss what's being said just because it's in another language. No waiting for dubs — on live streams Echo turns speech into translated subtitles as people talk, like a simultaneous interpreter. No copy-paste, no second window — most of the time, not even a click.
LANGUAGE SETTINGS
Echo picks the caption language from your browser's language preferences — not from the language Chrome's menus happen to be in — and you can change it anytime from the popup or the Echo panel in the player. Echo's own menus follow your language too; pick another one in Settings. One switch turns auto-start on or off.
WHAT'S NEW IN 2.4.7
• Echo's menus and notices now come in every language it translates into.
• Five more caption languages: Assamese, Belarusian, Kyrgyz, Odia and Welsh.
• Live streams understand 60+ spoken languages, with one color per speaker.
• YouTube Live captions keep going after ads, and the ads themselves are no longer transcribed.
• When something goes wrong — a video without captions, captions that won't load — Echo says so on the video.
ALSO IN YOUR LANGUAGE
The Chrome Web Store doesn't offer a listing in these languages, so here is what Echo does, in each of them:
• Afrikaans: Kyk video's en regstreekse uitsendings met Afrikaanse onderskrifte wat intyds reg op die video vertaal word.
• Shqip: Shiko video dhe transmetime të drejtpërdrejta me titra në shqip, të përkthyera në kohë reale direkt mbi video.
• Azərbaycanca: Videoları və canlı yayımları Azərbaycan dilində altyazılarla izlə; tərcümə real vaxtda birbaşa videonun üzərində görünür.
• Euskara: Ikusi bideoak eta zuzeneko emankizunak euskarazko azpitituluekin, denbora errealean itzulita bideoaren gainean bertan.
• Bosanski: Gledajte videozapise i prijenose uživo s titlovima na bosanskom jeziku, prevedenim u stvarnom vremenu direktno na videu.
• မြန်မာ: ဗီဒီယိုများနှင့် တိုက်ရိုက်ထုတ်လွှင့်မှုများကို မြန်မာစာတန်းထိုးများဖြင့် ကြည့်ရှုပါ၊ ဘာသာပြန်ချက်များကို ဗီဒီယိုပေါ်တွင် အချိန်နှင့်တစ်ပြေးညီ ပြသပေးသည်။
