A focused area for subtitles
Keep the selected region around the visible subtitle lines. If a player moves its subtitles or the phone rotates, check the selected region again.

Get started in three steps
- 1
Choose the languages
Set the subtitle's source language and the language you want to read.
- 2
Mark the subtitle area
Start subtitle translation and select the part of the screen where the subtitles appear.
- 3
Follow changing text
As the subtitle line changes, the translated result updates. Re-select the area if the video layout changes.
When a line is hard to recognise
Very small text, motion, outlines and low contrast can affect OCR. Try a clearer picture, check the source language and compare another available OCR or translation engine.
Visible text is the input
Subtitle mode reads the text displayed by the video or stream. A video with no visible subtitles has no subtitle text for this workflow to translate.
Questions & answers
Does this create subtitles from speech?
This subtitle mode translates existing text on screen. It does not transcribe the video's audio.
Why is no subtitle detected?
Check that the selected region contains a readable subtitle line and that the app can capture the screen. Some players protect their video from capture.
Is a connection required?
An online translation engine requires an internet connection, even when text recognition runs locally.
