Keep watching.
Read along.
No new player. No whole-film uploads. Mimi listens to system audio and places subtitles over what you’re watching.

About this demo+
The actual Mimi interface replays real cloud-service subtitle events at their original timing, showing subtitles and Immersive Mode. This is not a native audio or latency test.

A NOTE ON PRIVACY
Know where your audio goes.
Mimi does not read your microphone or save audio and subtitles locally. System audio goes to your selected cloud provider. Credentials stay in the operating system’s secure storage.

A few things before you start
Is Mimi free?+
Mimi is MIT-licensed open source and free to download. Recognition and translation use your own cloud-service credentials; the provider may charge for usage.
Does it work offline? Which languages?+
Recognition and translation currently require an internet connection. Translation targets include Simplified Chinese, English, and Japanese. Original mode, input languages, and available modes depend on the service.
What about installation warnings?+
The macOS package is not notarized by Apple, and Windows packages are not code-signed, so system security prompts may appear. Download from the official GitHub Release and follow its installation instructions.
Can I download it for Windows?+
Yes. Windows x64 MSI and EXE installers are available. Native validation of system audio and the complete subtitle workflow is still in progress; identical behavior to macOS is not yet assured.
There’s more to the story.
Bring Mimi along.
Install it. Put on something you love.
The complete Windows audio and subtitle workflow is still being validated on-device.
