Features

Everything you need to understand anyone.

Live captions and translation, transcripts from your recordings, and the tools to get every name and number right, all in your browser.

Live Translation

Understand every conversation as it happens

Speak, listen or share a meeting. Captions and translations appear while people are still talking.

  • Real-time captions and translation

    See what's said and its translation side by side, word by word, as people speak.

  • Microphone or another tab

    Translate a conversation in the room, or the sound from a video call, webinar or video playing in another browser tab, with no bots joining your meeting.

  • One-way or two-way

    Translate everything into your language, or run a two-way conversation where each person sees the other's words in their own language.

  • Transcription only

    Just need it written down? Choose Transcribe for captions and a transcript in the language being spoken, with no translation.

  • Automatic language detection

    Speakers can switch languages mid-sentence. TransLive notices and keeps up.

  • Who said what

    Each speaker gets their own label, so conversations stay easy to follow.

  • Smart sentence breaks

    Lines finish when people naturally pause, with controls to make breaks quicker or more patient.

  • Layouts for every situation

    Stacked, side by side, or large captions, plus full-screen mode and adjustable text size.

  • Pause and resume

    Take a break without ending the session.

  • A heads-up when it can't hear

    If no sound comes through for a few seconds, you'll get a clear hint to check your microphone or shared tab.

  • Never lose a session

    Your transcript is kept safe as you speak. If the page is refreshed or closed by accident, it's there when you come back.

  • Settings just for this session

    Change languages or options for one session without touching your defaults, or save them as your new defaults.

File Translation

Turn recordings into transcripts and subtitles

Drop in an interview, lecture, meeting recording or video and get a speaker-labelled transcript, in the original language or translated.

  • Audio and video files

    MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, WebM, OGG, FLAC and more, straight from your phone, camera or computer.

  • Fast uploads, even for big videos

    TransLive sends only the sound from your file, so even large videos upload in moments instead of minutes.

    Pro and Business

  • Long recordings

    Files up to 2 hours on Pro and up to 5 hours on Business.

    Pro and Business

  • Large files

    Files up to 1 GB on Pro and up to 2 GB on Business.

    Pro and Business

  • Checked before you upload

    You'll see how long a recording is right away, and whether it fits your plan and the minutes you have left, before anything is uploaded.

  • Real progress

    A clear progress bar follows your file from upload to finished transcript. You can leave the page while it works.

  • Speakers and languages

    The same speaker labels, language detection and translation as Live Translation.

Accuracy

Built to get the details right

Names, numbers and specialist terms are where translation usually goes wrong. TransLive is tuned for them.

  • 60 languages, any direction

    Transcribe and translate between 60 languages: over 3,500 language pairs, including mixed-language speech.

  • Your own vocabulary

    Add names, product terms and jargon so they're recognised correctly every time.

  • Fixed translations

    Tell TransLive exactly how to translate words that matter to you, like brand names or technical terms.

  • Background information

    Describe the topic or the people involved, and recognition and translation adapt to it.

  • Expected languages

    Say which languages to expect, or keep strictly to them, for even better results.

  • Numbers you can trust

    Dates, amounts, prices and codes are carried accurately from speech into the transcript and translation.
