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. Made by an independent developer. Support: support@mimisubs.com
