Dubbing or subtitles: the real difference

These two tools solve different problems. Immersive Translate puts a translation on the screen for you to read. EarDub speaks the video in your language, so you can keep your eyes on the code, the slides or the demo, or listen while doing something else. If you've been looking for an Immersive Translate alternative because you're tired of reading subtitles, that's the gap EarDub fills.

When Immersive Translate is the better choice

You mainly read: it translates web pages, PDFs and e-books side by side with the original. EarDub is built for video only.
Copy-protected streaming: its supported list includes Netflix and Prime Video subtitles. EarDub can't dub copy-protected video.
iPhone or Safari: it offers both. EarDub doesn't run on iPhone or in Safari.

When EarDub is the better choice

You want to listen: real-time AI dubbing while you watch, with 300+ voices. On course sites it continues into the next lecture.
Long courses and coding tutorials: EarDub reviews the whole caption track and keeps a glossary for each video, so technical terms stay consistent from start to finish.
Videos without captions: EarDub Basic covers up to 60 hours of dubbing a month for $9.99, including videos without captions. Immersive Translate's AI subtitles stop at 1,000 minutes a month, about 17 hours, and you still read them.
Sites beyond a fixed list: allow a site once from the EarDub menu and it can dub the videos on that page, as long as they aren't copy-protected.

Which should you choose?

To understand a video by ear, choose EarDub: it's free for 30 minutes a day and works on YouTube, Udemy, Coursera and most other sites. See how the video translator extension works.

What EarDub is

EarDub dubs recorded videos on YouTube, Udemy, Coursera, X, Bilibili and most other sites into 75 languages with 300+ AI voices, translating with the context of the whole video. Captioned videos work on every plan; on Basic and Pro it also dubs videos without captions by recognizing the speech the player has already buffered, so each sentence is ready before it's spoken.

Price: Free: 30 min a day (up to 180 a month), up to 3 videos a day of up to 60 min, captioned videos. Basic $9.99/mo or $83/yr (60 h a month). Pro $19.99/mo or $155/yr (fair use).

Frequently asked questions

Does Immersive Translate dub videos with a voice?

Not as far as its own pages say. Its video page, pricing and store listing describe bilingual subtitles and AI-generated subtitles, with no voice or dubbing feature (checked November 4, 2026). EarDub plays an AI voice in your language while you watch.

Can Immersive Translate translate videos without subtitles?

Yes, by generating subtitles with AI, on its Pro and Max plans, up to 1,000 minutes a month. You read the result. EarDub Basic and Pro recognize the speech and dub it aloud while you watch.

Which is better for Udemy or Coursera?

Both work on those sites. Immersive Translate gives you subtitles to read. EarDub speaks the lecture in your language and continues into the next one, so you can watch the screen instead of the caption bar.

Which one is cheaper?

For dubbing, only EarDub offers it: free for 30 minutes a day, Basic $9.99 a month or $83 a year. Immersive Translate's first-year offer is $83.92 for Pro, $119.88 in the second year, and it doesn't include a voice.

Can I use both?

We haven't tested them together. If you try it, turn off EarDub's subtitles or Immersive Translate's so you don't see two sets on the video.

Hear YouTube in your language

EarDub dubs videos into 75 languages with natural AI voices, from their captions or, on Basic and Pro, from their speech. Free to install, 30 minutes of dubbing every day after you sign in, no credit card.
