About Mimisubs - Live Anime Subtitles
Watch any Japanese-audio video and read live English subtitles overlaid on the player. Works on YouTube, NicoVideo,
TVer, Abema — and any other site that plays audio in a browser tab.
How it works
1. Click the extension button and sign in with your email (no password — we send you a one-time sign-in link).
2. Open any video with Japanese audio.
3. Hit "Start English subtitles." A small banner appears over the video as the audio plays.
4. Live subtitles appear a few seconds after the speech. Videos with saved subtitles play in perfect sync.
What's translated
- Spoken Japanese is translated to English in roughly six-second chunks.
- For videos on NicoVideo, TVer, and Abema, captions you generate are cached so the next viewer gets them instantly
without re-translating.
Pricing
- Free: 30 minutes of translation per month.
- Starter (SG$5/mo): 5 hours.
- Pro (SG$15/mo): 20 hours.
- Unlimited (SG$40/mo): 80 hours.
(Subscriptions are managed via Stripe — cancel anytime from the Account page.)
Privacy
- Audio chunks are forwarded to OpenAI's Whisper translation API and not stored on our side after translation
completes.
- We do not see or record the video itself, only the audio while you have subtitles running.
- We do not track which pages you visit. The extension only acts when you press Start.
- Full policy: https://mimisubs.com/privacy
Permissions
- "Read and change all your data on all websites" — required to overlay subtitle text on whatever video you're
watching. We only read the page when you press Start subtitles.
- "Tab capture" — required to capture the audio of the current tab for translation.
- "Identity" — used for the one-tap sign-in flow that connects the extension to your mimisubs.com account.
