Isn't there already a Kick translator? What's different?

Most tools called a "Kick translator" translate the chat — the text viewers type. That's useful, but it isn't the streamer. DubTab translates the streamer's voice: what they're saying, as they say it, dubbed into your language with captions on screen. Keep your chat translator if you like — DubTab covers the other half.

How far behind the stream is the dub?

A few seconds — DubTab has to hear a phrase before it can speak it in your language. Auto catch-up keeps that gap steady for the whole stream, so the voice stays with the live edge instead of drifting further behind.

Do I need Kick's CC turned on?

No. DubTab doesn't read Kick's captions — it listens to the stream's audio directly. Leave the CC button on or off, whichever you prefer; DubTab works the same either way, and its own bilingual captions already show the original line next to the translation.

The CC button isn't showing on a stream, or the captions stopped. Can I still use DubTab?

Yes, and nothing changes. DubTab never depended on Kick's captions — it transcribes the stream's audio itself, so it works whether the CC button is there, missing, or not working on that particular stream. Open the channel on kick.com, turn DubTab on, and you get captions and a dub in your language regardless.

Game audio and music are in the mix — does it still work?

DubTab transcribes speech, and a streamer talking over game audio is the normal case on Kick — it works for most streams. When the music or the sound effects are loud enough to bury the voice, accuracy drops, the same way it would for a person listening. The captions always show you what DubTab heard, so you can tell when a line got lost. One tip: if you know the streamer's language, set it instead of leaving Auto Detect on — on a noisy stream, that usually helps.

Does it work in the Kick app on my phone or TV?

No. DubTab is a Chrome extension and a Windows desktop app, so it runs on a computer. Kick plays on kick.com in the browser — open the stream there and DubTab dubs it. There's nothing to install on your phone or TV, and nothing for the streamer to do.

Does the streamer need to set anything up?

Nothing at all. Everything runs in your browser, on your side — the streamer doesn't add captions, doesn't change a setting, doesn't even know you're listening in another language.

I'm a streamer or a mod. Can I use it on a channel I run, or on a collab in another language?

Yes. DubTab listens to whatever the tab is playing, so open the channel in Chrome and turn it on the way any viewer would. A guest speaking another language, a co-streamer, a community you moderate in a language you don't speak: you hear it in yours, a few seconds behind, without anyone on the stream doing anything.

What about ad breaks?

Kick shows ads across the platform now, and they aren't skippable. DubTab dubs whatever the tab is playing, so an ad gets dubbed too and counts toward your listening time. If you'd rather not spend minutes on ads, pause DubTab when the ad countdown appears and resume when the stream is back — channels you're subscribed to show no ads at all. And if the stream itself goes quiet for a few minutes, a BRB screen or an intermission, DubTab pauses on its own.

A stream runs for hours. What does that cost?

You can start free — every DubTab account includes a 15-minute trial, no credit card required. After the trial, paid plans count usage by listening time — and only while DubTab is actually listening. Pause it when you step away, and it pauses itself after a few minutes of silence, so a BRB screen or an intermission doesn't count.

Which languages can DubTab translate Kick streams into?

DubTab supports 60+ languages for both dubbing and captions — and the streamer can be speaking any of them. Pick your language once and every stream follows.

Kick Stream Translator hear the streamer in your language, while they're live.

Q: Can I translate a stream replay or a Clip?

Yes. A replay plays like a regular video, and DubTab dubs it just the same — for as long as Kick keeps it, which is 7 days on a regular channel and 30 on a verified one, and only if the streamer has replays turned on. Clips work too, though a few seconds of delay is a lot on a 30-second clip. DubTab is at its best on the stream itself.

DubTab translates Kick live streams as they happen — an AI voice dubs the streamer just a few seconds behind, with live translated captions on screen. Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Arabic — whatever language the streamer speaks, you hear them in yours. Open the stream on kick.com in Chrome; the streamer doesn't change a thing.

Kick's CC stays in their language. Chat tools do the chat. Nobody translates the streamer.

Watching a Kick stream without DubTab

Kick added a CC button to its web player in 2026 — and it shows what the streamer says in the streamer's language, as text. Nothing translates it, and nothing says it out loud.

The tools sold as a "Kick translator" translate the chat — the text viewers type. The streamer's voice, the part you actually came for, stays in a language you don't speak.

Stream replays last 7 days on a regular channel and 30 on a verified one — and only if the streamer keeps them at all. "I'll catch the VOD later" has a short fuse on Kick.

With DubTab

An AI voice dubs the streamer in your language a few seconds behind the stream — you follow along as it happens, hands free.

CC on or off, it doesn't matter — DubTab listens to the stream's audio itself, in whatever language the streamer speaks.

Live bilingual captions show the original and the translation together, with chat still open — so you keep up with both.

Built for streams that don't wait

Live dubbing, seconds behind

The AI voice follows the streamer with just a few seconds' delay — a voice you listen to while you watch, not captions you have to read.

Auto catch-up

If the dub drifts behind — a slow connection, a stuttering stream — it catches back up and stays in sync with the live edge.

Doesn't need Kick's CC

Kick's captions are new, text-only, and in the streamer's language. DubTab listens to the audio itself — so it works on every stream, whether the CC button is there or not.

Live bilingual captions

Original and translation on screen together, updating as the streamer talks — with chat still in view.

Built for marathon streams

IRL streams that run all day, Just Chatting sessions that never seem to end — DubTab keeps going as long as the stream does. And when the stream goes quiet for a few minutes, a BRB screen or an intermission, it pauses on its own, so you're not paying to translate silence.

Any language in, yours out

The streamer can speak any of 60+ languages — you pick what you hear. The streamer changes nothing.

What people watch on Kick with DubTab

A lot of Kick's biggest streams aren't in English — they're in Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Arabic. These are the streams where the language is the only thing in the way.

Spanish-speaking streamers

Some of the biggest channels on Kick stream in Spanish — from Spain and all across Latin America — and almost none of it is translated. Follow them in your language while they're live, not from a recap.

Portuguese-speaking streamers

Brazil is one of Kick's biggest scenes: Just Chatting, gaming, IRL, all in Portuguese, all uncaptioned. Hear the streamer in your language as they talk, not from a clip someone subtitled days later.

Turkish & Arabic-speaking streamers

Two of the languages Kick is best known for, and two you almost never see translated anywhere. A Turkish gaming marathon, an Arabic Just Chatting room — you hear it in your language, a few seconds behind.

Just Chatting

The biggest category on Kick is a streamer talking — stories, reactions, answering chat, for hours. Follow the whole conversation, not just what you can guess from the emotes.

IRL streams

Kick is full of streams that leave the desk — a city walk, a road trip, a market, a night out, the camera on and the streamer narrating the whole way. The stream is in their language; the place they're showing you doesn't have to be.

Getting raided somewhere new

Your streamer raids a channel you've never heard of, in a language you don't speak. Stay — DubTab dubs the new streamer just the same, whatever language they're speaking.

Doesn't Kick caption streams now?

It does — as text, in the streamer's language, on the web player, since mid-2026. That's a real step up from nothing, and it's also exactly where it stops: Kick doesn't translate those captions and doesn't speak them, and the tools called a "Kick translator" only handle the chat. Everything else has to happen in real time — and that's what DubTab does, on your side of the screen.

What you're watching	What Kick gives you	DubTab
Live stream on kick.com, CC on	Captions in the streamer's language only — no translation, no audio	✓ Real-time dub + captions, your language
The chat	Not translated by Kick — add-ons that do only handle text	✓ Adds the streamer's voice — the part chat tools can't give you
Stream replay (VOD)	Kept 7 days on a regular channel, 30 on a verified one — if the streamer keeps replays on	✓ Works like a regular video — while it's still there
Clips	Short clips, 10 seconds to 3 minutes — no translation	✓ Works — though a few seconds behind is a lot on a 30-second clip. The stream is where it shines

Source: Kick Help Center — stream replays are kept 7 days on non-verified channels and 30 days on verified ones; Kick Support, July 2026 — live captions added to the web player.

Captions came to Kick in 2026. Translation didn't.

For most of Kick's life a stream came with nothing — no captions, no transcript, no track. The CC button changed one thing: now the words are on screen, in the streamer's language, if you're on the web player. What you still don't get is the part that matters when the streamer doesn't speak your language — the words in yours, and a voice saying them. DubTab produces that on your side: live dub and captions, in your language, for any channel.

A few seconds behind — and it stays there.

The dub runs a few seconds after the streamer: DubTab has to hear a phrase before it can say it in your language. What matters on a long stream is that the gap doesn't grow — auto catch-up keeps the voice pinned to the live edge instead of drifting minutes behind.

Made for the streams people actually sit through.

Just Chatting marathons, IRL streams that run all day, a subathon on its third day — the streams that run for hours and where the streamer's voice is the whole point. Open the channel on kick.com, pick your language, and you're in the room.

Frequently asked questions

No. Since mid-2026, Kick's web player has a CC button that shows what the streamer is saying — as text, in the streamer's language. It doesn't translate, and it doesn't speak. DubTab does both, in real time, on your side: an AI dub plus live captions in your language, on any Kick stream.
