Live Subtitles information
What is Live Subtitles?
Live Subtitles is a live caption and real-time translation app that turns any audio playing on your device into bilingual subtitles. It instantly transcribes speech and shows dual subtitles — the original language on top and the live translation below — for videos, calls, podcasts, streams, online classes, and any other audio.
Subtitles appear as a floating overlay on top of any app, so Live Subtitles works with content that has no built-in captions: streaming services, video calls, livestreams, social media, audiobooks, games, news, and conversations in foreign languages. Real-Time Speech Recognition and Translation • AI speech-to-text across 30+ languages • Instant live translation between any pair of supported languages • Dual subtitles: original text on top, live translation below • Accurate recognition even at low volume • Low-latency streaming captions • One-click language switching
How It Works • Pick the languages you want to recognize and translate • Start a session — on Windows and macOS the app captures system audio directly; on iPhone it uses the iOS screen broadcast • Audio from any app — browsers, YouTube, Netflix, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Discord, FaceTime, podcasts, games — is transcribed and translated in real time • Live captions appear in a floating overlay you can move and resize
Works With Any Audio Source • Streaming platforms (YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, Prime Video, Disney+) • Video calls and meetings (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Discord, FaceTime) • Podcasts, music, and audiobooks • Live streams, broadcasts, and webinars • Social media and short-form video (TikTok, Instagram, X) • Games and any other app playing audio
Key Capabilities • Live captions for any system audio (no microphone needed on desktop) • Bilingual / dual subtitles: original + translation side by side • High-accuracy AI speech recognition • Floating subtitle overlay on top of any app • Customizable font, size, colors, transparency, and number of lines • Display modes: original only, translation only, or both • Word collection — automatically save and translate new words, export to CSV/TXT • Multilingual interface (35 UI languages) • Works on Windows, macOS, and iPhone
Supported Languages Live Subtitles supports 30+ recognition and translation languages, including English, Russian, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Ukrainian, and more.
