Live translation Streamer & Pro

Show your captions in another language, live — translation only, original only, or both.

Speaker labels Streamer & Pro

Built for OBS Streamer & Pro

Transcripts stay yours

Every session is saved and private to you, on your own machine by default, ready to export.
