A streaming video player with space for PrismaSub's subtitle overlay

Real-time subtitle translation

Watch anything.

Understand every line.

Found a drama you love, but can't read hardcoded subtitles?
Fan translation stopped just a few episodes before the finale?

Place PrismaSub over any visible subtitle for instant, accurate translation.
If the subtitles are on screen, PrismaSub keeps the story going.

PrismaSub is currently in beta on Windows.

A Faster shortcut

Skip transcription

Keep up with every scene

Live audio translation has to listen, transcribe, and translate in sequence. Transcription is the most demanding step, adding delay before translation even begins.

PrismaSub works with subtitles already on screen, delivering context-aware translation at the pace of movies and shows.

Traditional AI subtitle tools

Listen first

Capture audio, transcribe speech, then translate. Powerful, but slow and expensive for long episodes.

Subtitle file tools

Need files

Work well when you have an SRT, ASS, or VTT file. Less useful for hardcoded subtitles and streaming.

PrismaSub

Read the screen

Focus on the subtitle area, translate only new lines, and keep watching without touching the video.

How it works

One setup. No interruptions.

Sit back and enjoy

Hide the controls and keep watching. New subtitle lines are translated as the story unfolds.

Binge with ease

Watch the story, not the clock

1 Dialogue Credit ≈ 1 translated subtitle line. Silence, music, and action scenes cost nothing when no new subtitle is processed. Credit packs are available inside the PrismaSub app.

Dialogue-heavy videos, such as conversational YouTube content, use credits more quickly. PrismaSub is currently in beta while we refine our watch-time estimates. If aggregate beta usage shows a consistent trend of shorter watch times than estimated, we will add credits to affected accounts.

Why watchers and learners care

Works wherever subtitles are visible

Streaming sites, local players, hardcoded subtitles, lectures, anime, dramas, and clips.

Your media stays on your device

Subtitle recognition happens locally. Audio, video, and screenshots are never uploaded.

Context-aware translation

Cloud translation handles difficult dialogue, slang, names, and meaning across consecutive lines.

Pay for dialogue, not silence

No new subtitle line means no cloud translation job. Action scenes and silent shots stay quiet.

Bilingual subtitles for learners

Keep the original line under the translation so learners can follow meaning without losing phrasing.

Privacy by design

Your media stays with you. Only subtitle text is translated.

Smart Subtitle Capture reads each line on your device, then sends only the recognized text for translation. PrismaSub never needs your audio, video, or screenshots.

During beta, PrismaSub may measure active translation time and credits used to improve watch-time estimates and provide credit adjustments. The timer does not collect media titles, channels, or website addresses.
