Translate Computer Audio in Real Time
Caliptic Translate captures the audio playing on your Mac or Windows PC and translates it as it is spoken. If your computer can play it, Caliptic can translate it.
How it works
Caliptic listens to your computer's audio output instead of the microphone. Speech is transcribed and translated on your device, then shown as live subtitles — or spoken aloud in your language.
What you can translate
Video calls in Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Webex. Videos on YouTube and streaming services. Podcasts, online courses, live streams, game voice chat in Discord — anything that plays through your speakers.
Nothing leaves your computer
Speech recognition and translation run entirely on your machine. No audio, transcript or translation is sent to a server, so confidential meetings stay confidential — and everything keeps working with no internet connection.
Can Caliptic translate Zoom and Google Meet?
Yes. Caliptic translates the audio coming out of your computer, so it works with any meeting app — Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex or Slack huddles — without any plugin or bot joining your call.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Yes. After a one-time model download, speech recognition and translation run locally. You can translate on a plane, in a secure facility, or anywhere without a connection.
Can the other side hear me in their language?
Yes. Caliptic installs a virtual microphone that any app can select as its input. Your speech is translated and spoken into the call in the other language, so the conversation works in both directions.
