Questions, answered
Interactive example · Japanese → English
Does this work on anime?
On any YouTube video with captions, including official anime clips and creator uploads — TransParrot uses the same caption track YouTube shows.
Can I keep the Japanese audio while reading English?
Yes. Dubbed audio is optional; leave it off to keep the original soundtrack with bilingual subtitles.
