Capisco: Auto Subtitles for Language Learning

Learn languages from any video or call - automatic dual subtitles: original + translation, even where none exist. Dictionary & Anki.

Capisco means "I understand" in Italian - and that's the whole idea. Learn a language by watching what you love: Capisco listens to the tab's audio and shows dual subtitles live - the original speech on one line, its translation right under it. Even on videos that have no subtitles at all - and on live calls: caption your online tutor or a foreign-language meeting as it happens. Create your Library of new words and then export it to Anki or Quizlet. Or learn directly from the extension. BUILT FOR LANGUAGE LEARNERS • Watch in two languages: original + translation together, in sync - read what you hear • Steady captions made for reading: words appear once and stay put - no flicker, no mid-sentence reshuffling like typical live captions • Clean, naturally punctuated captions that break at real sentence ends - including smart line breaks for Japanese, Chinese and Thai • YouTube subtitles mode: when a video has subtitles in your language (manual or auto-generated), Capisco uses them directly - the exact lines with a live translation; one click switches back to audio recognition • Select any word in the captions: instant dictionary definition, pronunciation (IPA) and audio • Save words and phrases to your Library, in folders, with the sentence they came from • One-click transfer to Anki (AnkiConnect sync or TSV file) and Quizlet • Caption history: re-read everything that was said, search it, save transcripts • Works on live calls in the browser - subtitle your tutoring lesson (Preply, italki) or any foreign-language meeting, as it happens WORKS WHERE NOTHING ELSE DOES • Any website - streaming, anime, lectures, podcasts, live streams, browser video calls • No subtitle track needed: captions are generated live from the audio itself (and when a YouTube video does have one, Capisco can read it directly) • Binge-proof: click the next episode and the captions follow - no restart needed • Private and free: with on-device recognition (the default wherever a language pack exists), audio is processed locally with the same models Chrome's Live Caption uses and never leaves your computer; translation always runs locally in Chrome. No account, no subscription. Languages without an on-device pack use Chrome's cloud recognition instead - the overlay always shows which engine is running, and nothing switches silently. MAKE IT YOURS • 1-3 caption lines, font size, background opacity, text outline • Voice boost mode for dialog buried under music • Draggable overlay that works in fullscreen, with per-site unlock for stubborn players LANGUAGES Learn Italian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese or English - with translations between all of them (plus Arabic as a target). Requires Google Chrome 140 or newer: Capisco is built on Chrome's built-in speech recognition and translation, which other Chromium browsers don't ship. The first start downloads the on-device models once. Perfect for learning a language with shows and anime, comprehensible input at scale, watching foreign videos that have no subtitles, reading YouTube subtitles in two languages at once, understanding your online tutor in real time, and following lectures or meetings in another language.
