Watch Persian Content with Live English Subtitles
You find a gripping Persian drama on a streaming platform, but the only subtitle option is Persian or nothing. Rather than hunting for unofficial subtitle files or settling for broken fan translations, there is a better way to watch Persian content in English right from your desktop.
The Problem with Persian Streaming Subtitles
Most mainstream streaming services offer limited subtitle coverage for Persian content. English subtitles are often unavailable for independent Iranian films, YouTube channels, or regional streaming platforms, leaving viewers with a frustrating choice between watching blind or abandoning the content entirely. Even when subtitles exist, they may be incomplete, poorly synchronized, or translated by non-native speakers.
The barrier extends beyond entertainment. Persian educational content, podcasts, and documentaries remain inaccessible to English speakers who want to engage with Persian culture, language, or expertise. This gap isolates valuable content from a global audience and forces viewers to rely on unreliable third-party solutions.
How Seagull Captures Any Persian Stream
Seagull translates the audio from any desktop app in real-time, generating live English subtitles that float on top of your screen. Whether you are streaming a Persian TV series on a local platform, watching a YouTube channel, or playing a film file on your computer, Seagull captures the system audio and converts it to English instantly, with no plugins or browser extensions required.
The floating subtitle overlay stays on top of whatever you are watching, synchronized with the dialogue as it plays. You can adjust the size and position of the subtitles to suit your viewing setup, and Seagull supports 60+ languages, so you can watch Persian content and get subtitles in English or pivot to other languages entirely.
