Speech Translator

What it does

Speech Translator transcribes speech from videos, livestreams, calls or your microphone and translates the text into another language in real time. It is useful for language learners, livestreamers and anyone following content in a language they do not speak.

Key features

• Converts speech to text using Google or Microsoft speech recognition
• Translates transcripts with the translation service you choose
• Provides translated captions as an OBS overlay for livestreamers
• Records transcripts and translated captions for later use
• Supports dictation practice by showing a translation of what you say

Use cases

• Following a foreign-language livestream or video call
• Adding live translated captions to your own stream
• Saving a transcript to translate or study later

Getting started

Start the extension on a tab that is playing audio, or use your microphone, and pick the source and target languages to see live transcription and translation.

Good to know

Audio is handled by third-party speech recognition and translation services, so accuracy depends on audio quality and language. The developer says core features need no registration, with extra options for schools and organizations.
