What's new
Every Twinread release, newest first. Feed · Suggest a feature
- Improved The 7-day Pro trial starts only when you press Start 7-day trial. Using Twinread no longer starts it, and a trial you have not started is Free.
- New The Upgrade view lists the ways to pay: card or PayPal, and Visa or Mastercard in Pakistan and Bangladesh, where PayPal is not available.
- New Use Gemini in the own-key settings fills the Google AI Studio endpoint and model; you add your own key.
- Improved Errors show in place, next to the control that caused them, and short notices float over the page without moving it.
- Improved Panels, lists and messages open and close with short motion. With reduced motion turned on in your system, they change at once.
- Fixed The founding code is copied only when you pick 12 months or lifetime, the passes it applies to.
- New Subtitles for the whole video on YouTube. The full caption track is translated ahead of the playhead, the next minute first, and again from the new place after a seek. Translations are kept per video and language pair, so a rewatch is instant.
- New Own-key translation in Settings. DeepL or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, chosen per language pair. The text being translated goes to that provider and nothing else; this device stays the default and the fallback.
- New Transcript beside the YouTube player. Every line with its translation, the line on screen marked and followed, a click to seek, a hover or click on a word for its translation and base form, and the number of new words in the video. J and K or the arrow keys move between lines, Enter seeks, S keeps the word, Esc closes. Alt+T opens it, so does the subtitle tools menu and the popup.
- New Transcript export as a bilingual .srt or text, Pro.
- Improved On YouTube the plate shows both lines of the cue at the playhead, original and translation, and hides YouTube's own caption while it runs. Words in the original line can be clicked.

- New Each saved word is Learning or Known on the words page; one press switches it.
- New Words in the playing subtitle line are marked known, learning or new.
- New Look up a word with its base form where Twinread knows one.
- New A line says when YouTube changed and captions may not load.

- Improved The full Anki export, the CSV export of saved words and the bilingual PDF copy need a paid pass; the trial keeps them locked. Sending a single word to Anki stays in the trial.

- New A founding price code and a renewal code show with a Copy button when they are set for the build.
- Improved Subtitle translations of watched videos are stored in the extension, not in the YouTube site's storage.
- Improved A provider that fails three times in a row is paused for two minutes and the on-device translator answers meanwhile; the notice shows once. A provider that does not answer in 15 seconds counts as failed.
- Improved DeepL is offered only the languages it covers. Without a frequency list every word not marked known or kept counts as new.
- Fixed Cues that failed while a provider was down are tried again, later each time.
- Improved Tags on kept phrases, Keep the first words in Prepare, the Anki and Yomitan word list import, Leech marks, New cards a day, Type the answer in Review, walking the words of a subtitle line with Alt+W, and the value and rating prompts are gone. One link to rate Twinread is in Settings.
- New Pro passes for 6 months, 12 months and for good. Pro ends in N days shows in the last two weeks of a pass, with Buy again.
- Improved A finished or refunded pass never reads as Pro, and an install that held a pass gets no new trial. The first translated subtitle line starts the trial.

- New The prepared list answers J and K or the arrow keys between words, H and L or the arrow keys between buttons, and Esc back to the file button.
