For serious learners
Everything you need to know.
LyricLens reads YouTube's native caption data in real time, detects the Thai or Lao script, then generates romanized pronunciation and an English translation. Everything is overlaid directly on the video player — no new tabs or popups needed.
Not at all. LyricLens is built for beginners. The romanized text shows you exactly how to pronounce each word, and the English translation gives you the meaning. It's a great way to start picking up the language naturally through music.
Any YouTube video that has Thai or Lao captions — either auto-generated by YouTube or manually added by the creator. This includes music videos, TV shows, interviews, vlogs, and more. If there are captions, LyricLens can work with them.
Yes. LyricLens processes captions locally in your browser. We don't collect or store any data about the videos you watch. The only network calls are for translation, and those don't include any personally identifiable information.
You can cancel anytime from the extension settings. Click the LyricLens icon in your browser toolbar, go to Settings, and hit "Manage Subscription." No questions asked, and you'll keep access until the end of your billing period.
