What's new in EarDub

Updates to the EarDub browser extension and plans, newest first: new sites, languages, voices, features and fixes you will notice.

Last updated

October 2026

  • EarDub is now available on Microsoft Edge Add-ons, so Edge users can install it from Microsoft's own store.
  • Added Udemy and Coursera: dub course lectures after allowing the site once from the EarDub menu, and the dub carries on into the next lecture of the same course (v0.1.21).
  • Added dubbing on other sites: on any page with a captioned video, such as TED or Wistia-hosted course sites, choose “Dub this video” from the EarDub menu. The dub button on the player now turns dubbing on and off and sits at the player's bottom-right corner on every site (v0.1.21).
  • Added Android support: dub YouTube on Android phones in the Vivaldi browser, with a separate subtitle size for phones (v0.1.22).
  • Added a welcome page and a first-run hint for new users, and the dub language now defaults to your browser language (English if it isn't supported) instead of Chinese (v0.1.20).
  • Translations now use the whole video as context: the title, the surrounding lines, a glossary of names and terms for each video, and a style guide for each of the 18 languages, so idioms, names and sentence order read more naturally.
  • Added more free voices, including extra voices for Vietnamese, Hindi, Indonesian and Japanese; fixed an Italian voice that produced no audio; and a dub that falls behind the video now catches up faster (v0.1.18).
  • When a plan limit stops a dub, the player now shows a card in your dubbing language that says which limit was reached and when free dubbing comes back, and EarDub's messages now appear in your language instead of Chinese.

September 2026

  • Plans simplified to Free, Basic ($9.99 a month) and Pro ($19.99 a month). The free plan changed from 1 hour a month to 30 minutes of dubbing every day, for up to 3 videos a day of up to 60 minutes each.
  • Added yearly billing: Basic at $89 a year and Pro at $179 a year, about 3 months free. Changing plans now replaces your current subscription instead of starting a second one (v0.1.15).
  • Sign in with Google, Microsoft or email directly from the EarDub menu (v0.1.13).
  • The EarDub menu is now available in Arabic (right-to-left), Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and Vietnamese, in addition to English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
  • Added Saudi, UAE and Jordanian Arabic voices alongside the Egyptian ones.
  • Some voices are now reserved for paid plans and marked “Member” in the voice list.
  • Dubbing now keeps going when the video plays in a background tab or after the extension updates, and a line that fails to load is retried in the same voice instead of being read by a different one.
  • Dubbed lines now start in step with their captions, long subtitles are split into pages, and the video keeps playing while the dub gets ready.

July 2026

  • Cantonese is back as a dubbing language, bringing the total to 18 languages (v0.1.8).

June 2026

  • EarDub launched on the Chrome Web Store (v0.1.4), dubbing captioned YouTube videos into English, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean with AI voices.
  • Added 12 dubbing languages: Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Russian, Polish, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian and Vietnamese. Cantonese was paused in this release, which shipped 17 languages (v0.1.7).
  • Fixed a bug where a YouTube video could freeze after buffering while the dub stayed on “loading”, and dubs now generate faster (v0.1.7).
  • Improved timing for languages that take longer to say than English, such as Arabic, Hindi and Indonesian, and Arabic subtitles now display right to left.
  • Redesigned the EarDub menu, now available in English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean, with each dubbing language listed by its own name.
  • Added the Shift+D keyboard shortcut to start dubbing.
  • Free accounts can dub up to 3 different videos a day; rewatching a video you already dubbed that day doesn't count again.
