About PolySub — AI Video Subtitle Translator
PolySub adds bilingual subtitles and translation tools directly to web videos.
Open a web page with an HTML5 video, choose your language, and use PolySub to
show the original captions together with a translated line. On pages without a
supported video or captions, PolySub stays idle.
What PolySub includes:
- Dual original and translated subtitles over the video
- Instant translation and managed PolySub AI translation
- Subtitle size, position, display, and theme controls
- Transcript view, search, export, and language-learning tools
- Six free themes plus private transcript corrections
- User-initiated Live Transcribe for videos without usable captions
- Optional account sync for settings, vocabulary, and entitlements
Privacy and control:
- The extension does not send general product or feature-use analytics
- Live Transcribe captures only the current tab audio after you start it
- PolySub does not sell data or use it for advertising
- You can disable PolySub on individual sites
PolySub needs access to web pages because video players and caption tracks can
appear on many different websites, including inside embedded frames. It uses
that access only to detect the current video, read its captions, display the
subtitle interface, and perform the subtitle or transcription action you
request. It does not build or sell a browsing-history profile.
Basic instant translation works without payment. Some managed AI and Live
Transcribe features require an account and available trial or Pro entitlement.
Paid checkout is not open in this version.
Use only with content you are permitted to access. PolySub does not download
video files or bypass subscriptions, access controls, or DRM.
