Overview
VidOver helps users dub online videos by reading available captions or subtitles, translating text, and generating speech audio through the provider selected by the user.
Developer
- Developer: VidOver Team
- Contact: dubsync.official@gmail.com
- Website: https://vidover.pages.dev
Data We Process
- Video page URL and supported-site context, used to run the overlay on supported pages.
- Caption or subtitle text from the current video, used to translate and generate dubbed audio.
- User settings such as language, voice, volume, provider choices, panel position, and beta quota.
- API keys entered by the user for OpenAI, Google Cloud, Azure Speech, or ElevenLabs.
- Optional diagnostic or error information if the user enables error reporting.
API Keys
API keys entered in VidOver are stored locally on the user device or browser profile. They are not sold and are not intentionally shared with VidOver servers. When a user selects a provider, VidOver uses the relevant API key to call that provider directly or through the extension or app runtime.
Third-Party Providers
Depending on user settings, caption or subtitle text may be sent to third-party providers to provide translation or text-to-speech, including OpenAI, Google, Azure Speech, ElevenLabs, and supported fallback service endpoints.
VidOver is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any supported video site or provider brand.
Local Storage
VidOver stores user preferences locally, including selected language, selected voice, provider settings, volume and speed settings, beta quota, and API keys. Browser extension settings may use Chrome storage local or sync depending on the setting type. Android settings are stored in app storage.
Usage Telemetry (Optional)
Usage telemetry is disabled by default and requires affirmative opt-in by the user in Settings. When opted in, VidOver transmits pseudonymous diagnostic data linked to a randomly generated device identifier (deviceId), including extension version, browser platform, operational event type (install, heartbeat, dub start), and target dubbing language. Telemetry requests never transmit video URLs, browsing history, or personal account identifiers. Users can opt out at any time in Settings.
Error Reporting
Remote error reporting is disabled by default. If enabled, VidOver may send diagnostic events such as error type, app version, provider type, and limited debugging context. API keys should not be included in error reports.
Data Selling And Advertising
VidOver does not sell personal data. VidOver does not use user captions, API keys, or dubbed content for advertising profiling. If paid advertising is used to promote VidOver, ad platforms may collect campaign analytics independently according to their own policies.
User Control
- Users can disable dubbing at any time.
- Users can remove API keys from settings.
- Users can disable error reporting.
- Users can uninstall the extension or Android app to remove locally stored app data.
