Changelog
Every Voxylio release, and what it changes for you.
Lifetime access arrives: pay once for permanent local dubbing, with AI kept on a separate, transparent timeline.
- NewLifetime unlocks local dubbing on every supported site permanently.
- ProLifetime includes 12 months of AI features; the optional AI Pass renews only AI, never the local licence.
- ImprovedPricing, checkout and the account page now show local access and AI access separately.
The reliability update: captions, translation and speech now stay synchronized through language changes, seeks and provider failures.
- ImprovedLines are always spoken in chronological order, even when translations finish out of order or an account unlocks mid-video.
- ImprovedOnly one subtitle source and language can feed a video at a time; late responses from a previous selection are ignored.
- ImprovedSeeking rebuilds live captions cleanly, so repeated text is spoken at its new position without duplicates.
- ProPro voice now times out safely, clears stalled requests and immediately replays the affected line with a local voice.
- ProPro audio invalidates delayed permissions and old capture sessions, preventing duplicate streams and quota usage.
The inspection release: a full audit of the engine, popup and packaging — every finding fixed.
- ImprovedProgressive captions: sentences with contractions or elisions (don’t, l’histoire) no longer lose a word when the subtitle window slides.
- ImprovedSwitching videos on the same page fully resets language detection — a video in your own language can no longer silence the next one.
- ImprovedThe first sentence is never spoken twice while the browser is still loading its voices.
- ImprovedCorrect timing for captions without spaces (Japanese, Chinese, Thai): no more rushed, chopped lines.
- ProPro voice: if a cloud line fails mid-playback it is re-spoken locally at once, and pausing the video no longer swaps voices for a minute.
- ImprovedHardened account link, cleaner quota meters, localized accessibility labels, and a smarter update button that waits for the update to finish downloading.
1.8.1
August 2026The players update: nine more platforms whose captions Voxylio now reads straight from the screen.
- NewNew players supported: Udemy, Hulu, HBO Max, Peacock, Dailymotion, Viki, LinkedIn Learning, Skillshare and edX — their on-screen captions feed the dubbing.
- NewOn Udemy the lecture's full caption track loads upfront with real timings — translation and voice are ready before each sentence, like on YouTube.
- NewYouTube: when the video's default audio track is already an automatic dub in your language, Voxylio warns you instead of speaking over it — no more two voices at once.
- ImprovedSteadier engine: language detection now needs consensus before it can mute anything, and translation recovers within seconds after a network hiccup — no more going silent mid-video.
- ImprovedClearer guidance: the popup now suggests turning captions (CC) on before concluding a player has none.
- NewA “Check for updates” button in the hub applies a pending update instantly (Chrome and Edge).
- ImprovedPro-only toggles no longer show up on free accounts.
1.8.0
August 2026The new Free/Pro split: try everything for 3 days, keep the big platforms free forever, and go Pro for every site.
- New3-day full trial for every new account — every site unlocked, no card required
- ImprovedThe free plan focuses on YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and Twitch — unlimited, on-device
- ProPro unlocks every site the engine supports — course platforms included
- ProPro — no-subtitle dubbing (beta): when a video exposes no captions at all, its audio is transcribed live (Premium Audio minutes) and dubbed by the same engine
1.7.1
August 2026The flow update: dubbing on YouTube now reads the official subtitle track ahead of time — every line starts right on cue.
- ImprovedContinuous dubbing on YouTube: the official subtitle track is loaded upfront, each line starts on its cue and captions no longer need to appear on screen.
- ImprovedSnappier fallback on Netflix and other players: less silence between sentences, and late lines are caught instead of skipped.
- ProPro quota meters in the popup, the hub and your account page — remaining volume, totals and renewal date.
1.7.0
August 2026The account update: sign in once, keep the free plan forever, and unlock Pro when you want more.
- NewVoxylio account (free, Google sign-in): dubbing now starts with a single sign-in, and your plan follows you.
- NewA full settings hub: dubbing history, transcript export (.srt), local statistics, and a voice per language.
- NewPersonal glossary: force your own translations, or protect terms so they are never translated.
- ProPro — contextual AI translation (beta): whole scenes translated coherently, so pronouns, tone and terminology hold from one line to the next.
- ProPro — natural neural voices in 7 languages, with the local voice taking over instantly if the cloud ever fails.
- ImprovedA Launch button starts dubbing without reloading the page — and the player's captions are switched on for you whenever possible.
- ImprovedReads on-screen captions too: YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and Twitch, on top of every player exposing a subtitle track.
- ImprovedSmoother sound: the original audio ducks under the voice and comes back in pauses, pacing adapts to the actual voice, and past translations are remembered.
1.5.1
August 24, 2026First public release on the Chrome Web Store.
- NewFull-sentence dubbing: subtitles are rebuilt into complete sentences before translation, for a fluid voice.
- NewAutomatic source-language detection and on-device translation with Chrome's built-in AI.
- NewLocal by default: captions, history and statistics never leave the device.
- NewBilingual on-screen captions — the original and the translation together.
