Soundtrack-safe
The music keeps its punch.
Most dubbing tools turn the whole show down. Hoshidub only steps back the Japanese voices, so the openings, the fights and the quiet moments still hit.
- Music and effects stay within 2 dB
- Japanese dialogue drops by 15 dB
- Your English volume, your call
Sound while dubbingLive
Meet Hoshi
Your anime friend, right in the side panel.
Hoshi (星, “star”) reacts to every twist, answers questions about the episode out loud, and remembers what you love. She only knows what’s already happened, so she can’t spoil a thing.
Wait, who is she to him?
His childhood friend! Did you see how fast she jumped in? Total devotion.
What happens at the end?
No idea yet, and I’m dying to find out too. No spoilers from me, ever.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Does it work with Crunchyroll?
Yes. Open it inside Hoshidub and sign in with your own account. Hoshidub uses the show’s official English subtitles when they’re available.
Is it legal?
Hoshidub plays the service you already pay for, in its normal player, and listens to the sound like a person in the room. It never records, saves or decrypts video.
How is it zero delay?
When a show has official subtitles, Hoshidub reads them ahead of time and prepares each line before it’s spoken.
Do I need a powerful PC?
An NVIDIA RTX graphics card with 6 GB or more is recommended. A cloud version for any laptop is planned for 2027.
Does Hoshi spoil episodes?
Never. She only knows what has already happened in the episode, and every reply is checked against what’s coming.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. Dubbing, Hoshi and her memory all run on your PC. There’s no account and no tracking in the app.
Which languages?
English now. Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi and French are next.
Can I cancel Pro?
Any time, from the link in your receipt email. No questions, no tricks.
Don't read it. Dub it.
Every character. Every episode. In English, instantly.
