English to Russian Video Translator hear any English video in Russian, while it plays.
DubTab dubs the speaker into Russian with an AI voice and keeps translated subtitles on screen while the video runs — for a parent, a partner, a team, or your own Russian practice. Nothing to upload, nothing to wait for.
Free 15-minute trial · No credit card · Works on videos without subtitles
An English course lesson, dubbed into Russian while it plays — same video, same tab.
Sharing an English video with a Russian 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.
A Russian 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 Russian subtitles side by side, if someone wants to follow both.

Who watches English videos in Russian
The people around you don't all speak English — and the video you want to share almost always is.
Family who prefer Russian
Play the news clip, the how-to or the school video for a parent or grandparent — in Russian, without you narrating over it.
Teams and new hires
Onboarding videos, all-hands recordings and training in English, played in Russian for the colleagues who need them — no re-recording.
Classrooms with Russian speakers
Show an English lecture or documentary to newcomer students who are still learning English — they hear Russian while they watch.

Isn't there already a way to get an English video in Russian?
Sometimes — and when there is, use it. Here's where each option stops, and where DubTab starts.
| What you have today | English → Russian, what it gives you | DubTab |
|---|---|---|
| An official Russian dub (YouTube, Netflix…) | 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 |
| Yandex Browser's built-in video translation | Free, but only inside Yandex Browser, on the sites it supports, from a limited set of languages | ✓ Any site, in Chrome or Edge — plus the desktop app for everything else |
| Upload-and-render translators | Download, upload, wait — and only for files you own | ✓ Real time, in the same tab, on any site |
| A video with no subtitles at all | Nothing to translate | ✓ Works the same — it listens to the audio |
| An English live stream | Automatic captions in English only, on some streams | ✓ Dub + subtitles while it happens |
Want to publish your own video in Russian? 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 a Russian 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.
A Russian voice that stays with the video.
Pick from several Russian AI voices. Auto catch-up keeps the dub aligned with the speaker — never racing ahead, never falling behind — even in a two-hour class.
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.
