Unlike cloud-based translation services, Live Translator processes everything locally in your browser. No audio recordings, no conversation logs, no data collection — period.
You bring your own Soniox API key, stored only in your browser's local storage. We never see it, never route it through our servers, and never have access to your translation data. Billing is pay-as-you-go directly with Soniox based on your usage.
Everything you need to know about Live Translator.
Live Translator captures audio from your meeting or video, sends it directly to Soniox for speech recognition and translation, then renders translated captions on your screen in real-time. The extension runs locally in your browser, and no conversation data is routed through third-party app servers.
The Free plan gives you full real-time translation with 60+ languages, plus Narrate Their Voice (10 minutes per session) and auto-save transcription (up to 10 records). You only pay Soniox for API usage. Upgrade to Pro Monthly ($4.99/month) or Pro Yearly ($49/year) for unlimited transcript history, unlimited Narrate Their Voice time, Narrate My Voice, AI assistant, and advanced exports.
No, you don't need a Soniox API key to use Live Translator. You can use the free plan with included Soniox access or add your own Soniox API key in Settings for unlimited usage and pay-as-you-go billing from Soniox.
Open Live Translator, add your OpenAI API key in settings. After that, click the Narration button, choose a voice and press Start to hear translated text as speech. You can use Test to preview the selected voice before starting.
WhatsApp Web calling is currently tied to the Beta program. If call buttons are missing, enable Beta first:
No. Translations are displayed only on your screen as a local overlay. Other participants in the meeting cannot see your translations. The extension works silently in the background, visible only to you.
Currently, Live Translator is available as a Chrome extension and works on all Chromium-based browsers including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Arc. Support for Firefox is planned for a future release.
Yes! Download transcripts as TXT or JSON for free. Pro users can also export as SRT subtitle files with original or translated text — perfect for video editing, media players, or archiving. All formats include timestamps for easy reference.
Absolutely. Your Soniox API key is stored only in your browser's local storage and is never sent to our servers. The extension communicates directly between your browser and Soniox, so you keep full control of key usage and revocation.
