English to Italian Video Translator hear any English video in Italian, while it plays.
DubTab dubs the speaker into Italian with an AI voice and keeps translated subtitles on screen while the video runs — for a parent, a partner, a team, or your own Italian practice. Nothing to upload, no rendering to wait for.

Sharing an English video with an Italian speaker, today
You pause every minute to explain what was said — and half of it gets lost in your summary.
YouTube's auto-translated subtitles only exist when the video already has English captions, and they're text only.
Upload tools want the file: download, upload, wait for a render — impossible for a live stream or a course you don't own.
An Italian AI voice dubs the speaker while the video plays — you both just watch.
No subtitles needed: DubTab listens to the audio itself, so any English video works, live or not.
English and Italian subtitles side by side, if someone wants to follow both.
Translate an English video to Italian in 3 clicks
1. Add DubTab to Chrome
One click from the Chrome Web Store — the free trial is included. It works in Edge too.
2. Open the English video
A class, a podcast, a stream, a tutorial — on any site that plays audio, the way you'd normally watch it.
3. Pick Italian and press Start
The AI voice and translated subtitles start within seconds and follow the speaker for the whole video.
Who watches English videos in Italian
Films and series reach Italy already dubbed. The video you want to share with an Italian speaker usually isn't.
Family who prefer Italian
Play the news clip, the how-to or the family video for a parent or grandparent — in Italian, without you narrating over it.
Learning Italian
Watch content you already understand with an Italian dub and bilingual subtitles — the fastest way to hear how a familiar idea sounds in Italian.
Teams with Italian colleagues
Training videos and all-hands recordings in English, played in Italian for the colleagues who need them — no re-recording.
Classrooms with Italian students
Show an English lecture or documentary to exchange students who are still finding their feet in English — they hear Italian while they watch.
Live streams and events
Product launches, matches, gaming streams and talks — dubbed into Italian while they happen, no waiting for the replay.
Podcasts and interviews
Long English conversations, dubbed into Italian — play them in the background for the people who'd rather listen than read.
Isn't there already a way to get an English video in Italian?
Sometimes — and when there is, use it. Here's where each option stops, and where DubTab starts.
| What you have today | What it gives you | DubTab |
|---|---|---|
| An official Italian dub (films, series, some videos) | Use it — it's built into the player | ✓ Adds bilingual subtitles on top, if you want them |
| YouTube auto-translated subtitles | Only when the video has English captions — and text only | ✓ Dub + subtitles, with or without captions |
| YouTube auto-dubbing | The creator decides; many videos don't qualify | ✓ Any video — you switch it on |
| Chrome's Live Caption, with Live Translate | Free, in any tab — but text only, in a separate bubble, with no voice | ✓ An Italian voice over the video, plus bilingual subtitles |
| Upload-and-render translators | Download, upload, wait — and only for files you own | ✓ Real time, in the same tab, on any site |
| An English live stream | On YouTube, automatic captions in English only, untranslated, on some streams | ✓ Dub + subtitles while it happens |
Want to publish your own video in Italian? That's a different tool.
DubTab works on the viewer's side of the screen: it dubs whatever is playing, for whoever is watching. It doesn't export an Italian file you can upload. If you're localizing your own channel, you need an upload-and-render translator; if you're watching with someone, you need this.
An Italian voice, at the pace you prefer.
Pick from several Italian AI voices and preview them before you start. Italian usually takes longer to say than English, so when the speaker is fast, auto catch-up speeds the voice up to close the gap — or switch it off in the audio mixer for a calmer voice that runs further behind.
Works far beyond YouTube.
Any Chrome or Edge tab that plays audio: course platforms, streams, podcasts, embedded players. With the desktop app, anything your Windows or Mac plays — meetings included.
