Hi Product Hunt! I’m the solo maker behind PonySubs.
I built PonySubs because I kept running into videos with missing subtitles, inaccurate captions, or translations that required switching between several different tools. That made watching foreign-language videos, online courses, and live content unnecessarily difficult.
PonySubs brings the whole experience directly into the browser. It can generate live subtitles from video audio, translate them in real time, display dual-language subtitles, read subtitles aloud, and translate full webpages. It also works with videos that do not have built-in captions.
The project started as a simple floating subtitle overlay, but feedback from early users gradually turned it into a broader accessibility and language-learning tool. My main focus has been keeping it lightweight, easy to use, and useful across different websites instead of limiting it to one video platform.
People are now using PonySubs for online courses, live streams, news, foreign-language videos, anime, and everyday web browsing.
I’d especially appreciate feedback on subtitle accuracy, translation quality, interface clarity, and which languages or websites you would like PonySubs to support better.
Thanks for checking it out. I’ll be here to answer questions and listen to your feedback!
Finally something that actually adds subs to old videos that never had them. Tried it on a Japanese cooking channel and the live translation was solid enough to follow along without pausing every few seconds.
