Everything the app can do →
Talking in a language you do not speak

Hear the other person — read the translation

Live subtitles on top of any window — Zoom, Teams, Meet, Discord, YouTube. The original and the translation on two lines, about half a second behind. No bot joins the meeting: the audio is handled by your own computer.

Live subtitles panel: one line of the original speech and one line of the translation
The subtitle panel stays on top of the video or the call window without getting in the way.

Two modes for two kinds of conversation

Calls and video on your computer

The app listens to your computer's sound and shows subtitles over the window. In a meeting with a foreign colleague you see both sides: the other person, and your own microphone on a separate line.

Face-to-face on your phone

Dialogue mode: two fields, two languages. You speak — the other person reads and hears the translation in their language, and the other way round.

Pick your pace

“Fast” shows lines almost immediately, for a live conversation. “Calm” waits about a second longer, but the text is not rewritten as it goes — better for films and lectures.

Where people need it most

Talking to a supplier

A call with China or Turkey: you hear the speech, you read the meaning, and the whole conversation is kept as text — the terms can be re-read afterwards.

Lectures and webinars

A course in another language runs with subtitles in yours, and the notes stay in your history.

Travel

At the hotel desk, at the pharmacy, with a taxi driver — on your phone, in dialogue mode.

Questions people ask

Do I have to add a bot to Zoom or Teams?

No. The app listens to the sound of your own computer, so no extra participant joins the meeting and nobody has to be warned.

Does it work offline?

Speech recognition can run locally, and offline dictionaries cover 45 languages for translation. Cloud AI translation into 198 languages needs a connection.

How much does it cost?

You can try it for free. Paid plans start at $5.99 a month and add cloud recognition, spoken translation and larger quotas.

Is the conversation saved?

Yes, every session stays in your history with both the text and the translation. On the free plan history is kept for 7 days.
