An Immersive Translate alternative for videos, on your device
Snagcast is a free app for Windows and Android that captions the videos you watch and translates them into your language in real time, on your device, with no account.
Immersive Translate is a browser extension that translates web pages, documents and videos with online AI translation services; it asks you to sign up, and makes subtitles for videos with no captions in its paid plans. Snagcast does one thing, videos, on your own phone or computer: it uses a video's captions or makes them from the speech (100 spoken languages), and translates them into up to 96 (see each one). Checked on November 1, 2026, from Immersive Translate's own pages (below).
