Introducing LiveTranslate, the revolutionary Windows application designed to provide real-time AI audio translation directly as clear, customizable on-screen subtitles. This transforms how you interact with all forms of audio content on your PC, purely through visual display.

LiveTranslate operates by capturing live audio streams from your system and transforming them into readable subtitles. It makes no modifications to your system's audio output or video playback. It simply listens to the audio and displays the translation as an overlay. For gamers, LiveTranslate ensures you understand every spoken word, from the sprawling open worlds of upcoming titles like GTA 6 and classics like Red Dead Redemption 2, to the intricate narratives of Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077. Even in fast-paced competitive games like Valorant, CS:GO, and League of Legends, you'll grasp every callout and strategy through visual text. Beyond gaming, our software seamlessly integrates with your favorite streaming platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and YouTube, or even your local media players like VLC and KMPlayer. This allows you to instantly generate live subtitles for foreign films, captivating documentaries, and compelling TV series. Furthermore, LiveTranslate excels in educational environments, offering invaluable support for online courses from platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and edX, as well as live webinars and international meetings held on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet. LiveTranslate captures audio from your chosen source—be it your game, microphone, or any system output—converts it into text, instantly translates it using advanced AI, and displays it as a sleek, customizable overlay. This empowers you to break free from traditional localization limitations and dive deeper into true digital immersion!

Key Features Designed for Universal Comprehension Across All Digital Media:

1. Instant & Accurate Audio-to-Text Conversion from Any Source

• Capture Any Audio Source Non-Intrusively: LiveTranslate effortlessly captures audio directly from your system's output (games, movies, online calls, educational videos) or your microphone. It processes all spoken dialogue, critical voice lines, and spoken words from any source, instantly converting them into text for display. The program does not alter your system's audio or video playback in any way.
• Crystal-Clear Speech Recognition (Vosk Powered): Powered by advanced Vosk offline speech recognition models, LiveTranslate ensures exceptionally high accuracy, even in challenging environments like dynamic and noisy gaming sessions, complex movie soundtracks with background music, or varied educational lectures with different accents. It reliably converts spoken words from in-game character dialogue, active multiplayer voice chat, dynamic streamer commentary, intricate film audio, or detailed course narration into precise text for visual interpretation. This means you can enjoy Discord voice chat with live subtitles or benefit from real-time captions for online classes.
• Intelligent Silence Detection: A highly configurable silence timeout intelligently filters out distracting background noise, ambient game sounds, or natural pauses in speech. This ensures that only relevant spoken content is processed for translation, keeping your on-screen subtitles clean and concise. You will not see translations of background music, keyboard clicks, or fan noise during your gameplay stream or crucial study session, as the system focuses solely on spoken words.
• Extensive Source Language Support: Our application supports a vast array of source languages for transcription, allowing you to process a wide range of content. These include: English, Turkish, German, Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, Czech, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Kazakh, Dutch, Filipino, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese. This broad support enables you to experience content like Japanese anime with live English captions or easily follow a German philosophy lecture in real-time through displayed text.

2. Powerful AI Translation Engines for Global Audiences

• Versatile AI Model Integration: Seamlessly integrate with cutting-edge AI translation models, offering you unparalleled flexibility and translation quality. Choose from powerful cloud-based services like OpenAI (GPT series) and Google Gemini, or opt for privacy and speed with local Ollama models.
• Context-Aware Translation: Our intelligent system maintains a conversation history in the background. This allows LiveTranslate to provide more accurate and contextually relevant translations, which is absolutely crucial for fully understanding complex game narratives (e.g., the deep lore in The Witcher 3), nuanced film dialogue, or intricate academic discussions, all presented as text.
• Clean, Reader-Friendly Output: LiveTranslate's advanced post-processing ensures that the translated text is consistently clean, direct, and free from distracting AI model artifacts or markdown. This means your on-screen subtitles are always easy to read and understand, whether you're in the middle of intense gameplay, immersed in a dramatic movie scene, or trying to grasp a fast-paced lecture.
• Broad Target Language Support: Translate into a comprehensive list of target languages, ensuring your message reaches every corner of the global gaming community, international film enthusiasts, and diverse educational learners. Supported target languages include: English, Turkish, German, Arabic, Bulgarian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese. This means you can finally get GTA 6 Turkish subtitles for unlocalized voice acting, enjoy Netflix movies with live English captions for foreign audio, or follow a webinar translated into your preferred language, all displayed visually.

3. Fully Customizable On-Screen Overlay for Optimal Experience

• Non-Intrusive & Always-On-Top Display: The translation overlay is meticulously designed to always remain visible on top of your game, movie player, streaming software (like OBS or Streamlabs OBS), or any other application. This makes it absolutely perfect for full-screen gaming or watching films without ever missing a translated line on screen.
• Seamless Integration with Your UI: You have complete control over the overlay's appearance. Adjust the background opacity to blend it perfectly with your screen content, from fully transparent to a solid background. Choose custom colors for both the overlay background and the translated text to perfectly match your personal aesthetic, align with your stream branding, or simply for optimal readability against any background.
• Personalized Subtitles: Select any font installed on your Windows system, fine-tune its size, and choose its style (bold, italic, regular) to match your content's aesthetic, complement your streaming overlay, or simply suit your personal readability preference.
• Flexible Resizing & Positioning: Freely adjust the width and height of the overlay window to perfectly fit your specific monitor setup, whether you have a single monitor or a complex dual-monitor arrangement. Easily reposition it anywhere on your screen with simple drag-and-drop functionality, making it ideal for optimizing your stream layout or personal viewing experience.
• Contextual Multi-Line Display: Configure the number of previous translations that remain visible on screen. This provides crucial conversational context through text without cluttering your UI or distracting from fast-paced content. This feature is especially beneficial for following long dialogues in story-driven games or complex explanations in academic videos.
• Dynamic Display Duration: Control precisely how long each translated subtitle remains on screen before automatically fading out. This ensures you have ample time to read and comprehend the text, whether it's during dialogue-heavy cutscenes in games, rapid in-game callouts, or detailed educational explanations.
• Instant Subtitle Copy: Simply right-click on the overlay to instantly copy all currently displayed translated text to your clipboard. This is an incredibly useful feature for sharing memorable dialogue snippets, for streamers who want to save translated content for later use or review, or for students taking notes from lectures.

4. Intuitive Control & Minimal Performance Impact

• Streamlined Settings Panel: All settings are intuitively organized and easily accessible within distinct tabs (Translation, Appearance, Settings). This ensures quick and efficient configuration, even between intense gaming sessions or demanding study periods.
• Performance-Optimized for Smooth Operation: LiveTranslate is meticulously engineered to be exceptionally lightweight and efficient. This guarantees minimal impact on your game's FPS (Frames Per Second), ensures smooth video playback, and conserves overall system resources, so your digital experience remains top-tier without any noticeable slowdown. You can run it seamlessly in the background without affecting your primary applications.
• One-Click Operation: Simple "Start" and "Stop" buttons provide instant, intuitive control over the real-time translation process, allowing you to toggle it on or off precisely when needed.
• System Tray Minimization: Minimize LiveTranslate to your system tray, keeping your taskbar clean and uncluttered while the application runs silently and effectively in the background, out of your primary view.

5. Comprehensive Logging & Language Learning Tools

• Translation History & Logging: LiveTranslate maintains a short-term history of recent audio and translated text for immediate conversational context. Additionally, you have the option to save all translated text to local log files. This is perfect for later review, analysis, or for dedicated language learning purposes. It's an invaluable asset for streamers who want to review translated dialogue after a broadcast, or for students who want to re-read lecture transcripts for study.
• Easy Log Access: A dedicated button within the settings allows you to instantly open the folder containing your saved translation logs, providing quick access to your complete translation history.
