Four moves

How it works

Smart interactive subtitles for whatever is playing in the tab you choose.

  1. Step 1

    Choose a tab

    Open a video, stream, or podcast in Chrome and pick that tab in KoeDash.

  2. Step 2

    Read live subtitles

    Speech from the tab becomes interactive subtitles over the page. The video does not need captions of its own.

  3. Step 3

    Look up a word

    Hover a word for meaning, pronunciation, and a reading. Japanese lookups include dictionary readings. Scan text reads words already on the screen.

  4. Step 4

    Keep what you learned

    Send words and sentences to Anki. Sign in with Google when you want subtitle sessions saved on this site.
