SOC 2 Type II (In Progress)How live subtitle & caption translator works
Choose the language you hear and the language you want to read. Start the microphone to read live subtitles and bilingual captions in three steps.
Choose your caption language
Choose the language being spoken and the language you want to read. Premium is selected to start; available spoken languages depend on the model.
Let the microphone hear the speaker
Start recording and allow microphone access. Keep the speaker close to the microphone; this page does not automatically capture another browser tab or meeting app.
Read and check the translated captions
Read live subtitles alongside the original transcript. Stop recording when you want to review a name, number, or instruction before continuing.
Follow live speech with translated subtitles and captions
A spoken explanation can move quickly. Real-time subtitle translation gives you a written view of the conversation in a language you understand.
About the live subtitle & caption translator tool
JotMe turns microphone speech into an original transcript and translated captions. The original text and its translation appear together, so you can connect a translated phrase with the words behind it. Select Voice to hear spoken translations instead. Keep the page open to read along, then stop recording to review the captions.
About JotMe
Use this page to try reading live speech across languages. For meetings across your apps, JotMe's desktop app brings live translation together with transcripts, meeting notes, and follow-up, helping you carry the conversation into the work that comes next.
When translated captions help
Use translated captions when you want to listen to the speaker and read the meaning at the same time. For this browser trial, keep the speaker close to the microphone.
Follow a lesson in another language
Read a teacher's explanation in your preferred language while keeping the original wording available. Look back at a term or instruction when the lesson moves on.
Read along during a presentation
Place the microphone near the presenter and follow translated captions on your screen. Use the captions to check a product name, date, or next step during the talk.
Keep face-to-face conversations clear
Put a laptop between you and a visitor or colleague. One person speaks near the microphone while the other reads the translation; change the source language when the speaker changes.
Connect new words with their meaning
Compare the original speech with its translation during language practice. Revisit a phrase in the transcript and see how it was expressed in the other language.

FAQ
How does the live subtitle translator work?
The live subtitle translator listens through your microphone and turns speech into translated subtitles and captions as someone speaks. JotMe displays the original transcript together with translated captions, so you can follow the meaning and refer back to the speaker's words.
How are translated captions different from live transcription?
Live transcription writes speech in its original language. Translated captions add another language for the reader. For example, English speech can appear as an English transcript alongside Spanish captions on this page.
Can I translate captions from a meeting or another browser tab?
This browser tool listens through your selected microphone. It does not automatically capture audio from Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, or another tab. Try it with a nearby speaker; for translation across your meeting apps, explore the JotMe desktop app.
Which languages can I use for bilingual captions?
Choose the spoken language in the source selector and the language you want to read in the target selector. Available spoken languages depend on whether you select Basic or Premium. The selectors show the languages available for your current model.
Can I try live subtitles online for free?
Yes. You can try live caption translation in your browser within the allowance shown in the tool. Premium is selected initially and consumes the allowance at twice the Basic rate. You can switch to Basic before starting.
Can I hear a voice-to-voice translation too?
Yes. Select Voice in the same demo tool to hear the translation spoken aloud. Use Basic or Premium when you want to read translated captions. Each mode shows its available languages and allowance rate in the controls.
Will these captions appear over a video or become an SRT file?
The original transcript and translated captions appear inside this page. This live tool does not overlay subtitles on a video or create a timed SRT subtitle file. For speech in an existing recording, use the video-to-text translation tool.
