Live English subtitles for ABEMA

ABEMA carries a huge amount of anime, news, and original programming that rarely ships with English subs. mimisubs translates the audio in real time and overlays it on the player so you can watch as it airs.

Real-time English captions on ABEMA's web player.
Good for simulcast anime and live news where no subs exist yet.
Nothing to upload — it works off the playing tab.

Bonus: on this site we cache each translation, so the next person watching the same video gets the subtitles instantly — free for them, and it doesn't touch your monthly quota either.

Common questions

Will it keep up with a live broadcast?

Captions trail the audio by about 6 seconds — the buffer needed to translate whole sentences rather than half-words. For live news and simulcasts that's close enough to follow along.
