Duosub — Dual Subtitles for YouTube

Two YouTube subtitle lines at once — the original and yours — with click-to-look-up words.

Overview

Turn every YouTube video into a language lesson. Duosub shows two subtitle lines at the same time — the original language you're learning on top, and your own language below — perfectly synced over the player.

When a word trips you up, just click it to look it up. No pausing to open a dictionary, no switching tabs, no losing your place.

Duosub reads the captions YouTube already provides and does everything in your browser — not affiliated with YouTube or Google.

Features

  • Two synced subtitle lines with configurable order and text size
  • Click any word — including individually clickable Chinese/Japanese characters — for an instant look-up
  • Hover-to-pause: the video waits while you read a subtitle line

  • Interface available in 13 languages
  • Single storage permission — no account, no analytics, no servers
