v1.2.0LatestNewImproved

Auto Catch-Up and Clearer Connection Status

The translated voice keeps pace with the video while still reading every line, and connection status now comes with a plain explanation.

voice reliability

New

  • Auto catch-up. When the translated voice falls behind the speaker, DubTab speeds it up just enough to catch back up, while still reading every line in full.

Improved

  • Clearer connection status. Timeouts, connection failures and expired sign-ins now come with a plain explanation and a suggested next step. During reconnection you can see the current attempt and stop it at any time.
v1.1.5NewImproved

Audio Only Mode, a Collapsible Caption Panel, and Clearer Status Messages

Listen with nothing on screen, fold the Caption Panel away, and see a clear explanation whenever captions stop.

Two small comforts: less on screen, and more clarity about what DubTab is doing.

New

  • Audio Only. Hear the translated voice with nothing on screen at all — ideal for lectures and podcasts you follow while doing something else.
  • Collapse and expand. Fold the Caption Panel down to a slim bar with one click, and bring it back the same way.

Improved

  • Clear stop messages. When captions stop, DubTab explains why — the tab moved to another page, the tab was closed or replaced, or no audio was detected for a while — along with how to start again.
  • A clearer waiting state. While waiting for audio, DubTab reminds you to check that the video is playing and not muted.
  • Resize from the corner. A tooltip points out that you can drag the corner of the panel to resize it.
v1.1.4Improved

Automatic Fallback When a Voice Isn't Available

If the voice you picked isn't available, DubTab switches to the closest match and tells you which one it chose.

voice feedback

Improved

  • Voice availability notices. If your chosen voice isn't available for the language you're watching in, DubTab switches to the closest match and names the one it picked, so playback carries on smoothly.
  • A tidier feedback panel. The panel for getting in touch was rebuilt to be simpler and easier to scan.
  • Keyboard-friendly logo. The DubTab logo takes you to the homepage, and now responds to the keyboard as well as the mouse.
v1.1.0NewFixed

A Discord Community, Source Language Tips, and a Round of Fixes

Join the DubTab community straight from the extension, get guidance on when to pick the source language yourself, plus a set of fixes across captions and audio.

community voice captions

New

  • Discord community. There's now a link to our Discord right in the feedback panel — ask questions, report problems, and suggest features without leaving what you're watching.
  • Source language tips. The popup now tells you when picking the source language yourself pays off: choose it for single-language audio to improve accuracy, and stick with Auto Detect when several languages are mixed.

Fixed

  • Volume changes to the original audio now take effect while Audio Ducking is on.
  • Subtitles in Panel and Cinema modes now stay within the video area.
  • The voice list now shows a single set of options when reopened.
  • Text highlighting now follows the translated voice.
