Live Translated Captions for Amazon Prime Video
You're watching Amazon Prime Video in English, but your family member needs Spanish captions, or you want to practice French without breaking immersion. Seagull captures the audio directly from your screen and displays live translated captions in a floating overlay, solving both accessibility and language learning in one window.
Why Prime Video's Built-In Captions Fall Short
Amazon Prime Video offers captions in many languages, but only those the studio pre-recorded for that title. If you need captions in a language not included in the original release, or if you want real-time translation of dialogue into a language you're learning, Prime's native subtitle menu leaves you stuck. Switching between audio tracks and caption languages also requires menu navigation that interrupts your viewing.
Seagull works differently. It listens to whatever audio Prime Video is playing, regardless of the original language or available subtitle tracks, and instantly generates captions in your chosen language. The captions appear in a floating overlay that stays on top of the video window, so you never lose sight of the dialogue while adjusting caption speed or language.
Real-Time Captions for Accessibility and Learning
Live captions through Seagull serve multiple audiences at once. Deaf and hard of hearing viewers get accurate captions in real time without waiting for studios to produce them. Language learners can watch Prime Video in the original language with captions in their native tongue, or vice versa, reinforcing vocabulary and accent recognition without subtitles pulling focus from the actors' faces.
The floating subtitle overlay moves with your window and stays visible even when you pause Prime Video or switch tabs. With support for 60+ languages and low-latency translation, you get captions within seconds of the audio being spoken. For families watching together across different language preferences, Seagull lets everyone enable captions in their own language from the same playback.
Workflow: Instant Caption Setup Without Plugins
Open Amazon Prime Video and start playing any title. Launch Seagull on your Mac, Windows, or Linux desktop and select your target language for captions. Seagull automatically detects audio from Prime and begins rendering live captions in the overlay, no plugins or browser extensions needed.
Adjust caption size, position, and speed directly in Seagull's settings to match your viewing preference. You can watch the same Prime Video title with different family members, each with their own language overlay, or toggle between languages mid-episode. The caption stream stays synchronized with Prime's playback, even across network buffering or quality shifts.
