Watch Cantonese Content with English Subtitles in Real Time

You find the perfect Cantonese drama on your streaming app, but the English subtitles are nowhere to be found or they're poorly timed. Seagull captures the audio from any Cantonese content on your screen and displays live English subtitles as a floating overlay, so you can watch what you want, when you want, without missing a word.

The Problem with Cantonese Streaming

Cantonese TV shows, films, and YouTube content have exploded in popularity, but finding reliable English subtitles remains a frustration. Many streaming platforms either skip Cantonese entirely in their subtitle offerings, provide only machine-generated captions that lag behind the audio, or force you to settle for Mandarin subtitles that don't match what you're hearing.

The result is a fragmented viewing experience. You bounce between multiple apps hunting for subtitles, pause to look up dialogue, or worse, give up on content that interests you. This friction kills the enjoyment of discovering new Cantonese cinema, comedy specials, and educational content that could expand your perspective.

Real-Time Translation at Your Fingertips

Seagull solves this by capturing the audio directly from your screen, whether you're streaming on Netflix, YouTube, or a regional platform. The app translates Cantonese speech into English in real time and displays subtitles in a floating overlay that stays on top of any window, so you always see what's being said without fumbling with settings or losing sync.

Because Seagull works on Mac, Windows, and Linux, and requires no plugins or app integration, you're not limited to one platform or one service. Stream Cantonese content anywhere on your desktop, and Seagull handles the English translation automatically. The low-latency processing means subtitles appear almost instantly, keeping pace with natural conversation and fast-moving dialogue.

Watch What Matters to You

With Seagull, you're no longer locked out of Cantonese content because subtitles don't exist. Binge Hong Kong dramas, catch up on Cantonese YouTubers, watch film festivals, or follow comedy channels from Taiwan and mainland China. Every word is translated on the fly, without dependency on whoever created the original subtitles.

The overlay is subtle and customizable, so you focus on the story, not the translation tool. Whether you're learning Cantonese yourself or simply want to explore content in its original voice, Seagull removes the barrier between you and the media you want to consume.
