Podstr — AI Subtitle Translation

Podstr translates video subtitles to any language using AI models - Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek and others. Works directly in your browser, no server needed, no account required. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the extension 2. Open a video with subtitles in your browser 3. A language picker appears above the video - choose your language 4. Subtitles appear over the video while you watch WHERE IT WORKS Podstr works with players that expose subtitle tracks in standard formats: - HLS streams (.vtt segments in .m3u8): ARTE, Filmzie, Plex and more - TTML via player API: Netflix, BBC iPlayer and more - Direct .srt files: RaiPlay and more - Native HTML5 <track> elements: RTS Planeta, Vimeo, YouTube and more We don't guarantee any specific platform. Streaming sites update their players, formats and APIs often, and something that worked last month may stop working tomorrow. We try to keep up. If Podstr doesn't work on a player you'd like to use - or stops working somewhere it used to - email us at hello@podstr.cc.
