Live Subtitles turns any audio on your phone — or your microphone — into real-time bilingual subtitles. Get instant speech-to-text with live translation for videos, calls, podcasts, streams, and classes.
Unlike on other platforms, Live Subtitles for Android can show captions in a true floating overlay on top of any other app — so you can keep watching or listening while the subtitles follow along.
REAL-TIME SPEECH RECOGNITION & TRANSLATION
• Automatic speech-to-text across 40+ languages
• Instant translation between supported languages
• Dual subtitles: original on top, live translation below
• Low-latency streaming captions
• Automatic language detection
TWO CAPTURE MODES
• System Audio — capture sound from any app via Android screen capture (YouTube, Netflix, Zoom, Teams, Discord, Twitch, browsers, podcasts)
• Microphone — transcribe and translate live speech around you
FLOATING OVERLAY
• Subtitles float over any app
• Drag to reposition, snap to edge
• Customize font size, colors, opacity, alignment, and number of lines
• Optional tap-through so touches pass to the app below
HOW IT WORKS
• Pick a recognition language (or Auto Detect) and a translation language
• Tap Start; for System Audio confirm the Android screen-capture prompt
• Audio is transcribed and translated live, in the app and in the floating overlay
• Tap Stop to end
