## What is Live Translate?

AI-powered live translation. English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Japanese in one meeting, no switching. Subtitles appear sentence by sentence.
Upload a PDF hundreds of pages long and the layout stays largely intact. Up to 500 pages per file; a 300-plus-page document took about 20 minutes in our tests.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
· Other apps ask you to pick one source language; here English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Japanese can be mixed in one meeting with nothing to switch
· Other document tools charge by character count and want long files split up; here a single PDF of up to 500 pages goes in whole, layout largely intact, and you are only charged once it finishes
· Other interpreters show the text to you alone; here a link lets people who could not attend read the subtitles live, each in their own language, with no account needed
· Other tools translate each sentence in isolation; here the AI reads your material first and keeps proper nouns consistent for the whole meeting

LIVE INTERPRETATION FOR MIXED-LANGUAGE MEETINGS
· People can switch between English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Japanese mid-meeting — nobody stops to change a setting
· Bilingual subtitles appear while people speak, one sentence at a time
· 17 languages to choose from
· Colloquial Cantonese is normalised into natural written form before translation, not mapped character by character
· Glossary: add product, client and system names and both transcription and translation follow your spelling
· Missed a line? Ask: what it meant or whether it was translated right — answers come only from this meeting, without interrupting anyone

LARGE DOCUMENT TRANSLATION
· Upload a whole PDF, up to 500 pages; tables, figures and columns stay where they were
· Get a translation-only version and a bilingual side-by-side version, ready to share
· Excel (.xlsx / .xlsm) up to 30 MB and 2 million characters, with formulas, formatting and charts kept
· A notification tells you when it is done; no charge if translation fails
· Scanned and encrypted PDFs are not supported

LIVE SHARING — FOLLOW WITHOUT BEING IN THE ROOM
· Send a link or QR code; people who could not attend watch the subtitles live
· Everyone picks their own language, up to 4 at a time in one meeting
· Viewers need no account and pay nothing; links can carry a password and last 7 days or forever
· Minutes and subtitle export stay available while the link is valid
· A shared session carries subtitles only, no audio

AFTER THE MEETING
· Minutes written automatically: summary, key points, decisions, action items
· Full timestamped transcript to look back on

FACE-TO-FACE CONVERSATION
· Put the phone between you and hold to talk; both sides see the text and translations are read aloud

WHO IT IS FOR
· Teams working with clients in Hong Kong and overseas
· Cross-border business, negotiations, customer interviews
· Anyone translating contracts, proposals or technical manuals

WEB APP AND BROWSER EXTENSION
· Web app: https://live.bitbeam.cn — works in any browser, including inside WeChat, with nothing to install
· Browser extension: bilingual web pages and video subtitles, same account, same credits

Requires an internet connection. Make sure you have permission from participants before recording.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.0 — 2026-10-03

· Invite posters for more occasions: four new posters for travel talk, photos, classes and remote viewing, each with three lines to pick from. Tap "Another line" to switch
· More of the iOS 26 look: navigation buttons, bottom actions and sheets now use the system glass style and float over the content (iOS 26 and later; older systems unchanged)
· The pricing note in Conversation is no longer cut off: 1 credit per full 60 seconds

### 1.3.2 — 2026-09-30

· Fixed: on some narrower iPhones the puzzle shown before sending a code could never be matched
· Matches the new iOS 26 look: the recording bar, mini bar and toggles now use the system glass style, so they feel like built-in apps (iOS 26 and later; older systems unchanged)
· New icon: redrawn, and it follows the system's light, dark and clear styles on the Home Screen

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-30

· Translations keep up: a grey draft appears before the sentence is finished, then turns into the final translation
· Polished transcript: tap "Polish" on a meeting to rejoin split sentences and keep names consistent across the whole meeting. The original is kept
· Auto-pause on silence: if no one speaks for 10 minutes, recording pauses and the silent time isn't charged
· Reuse the last meeting's topic and names with one tap

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-27

· Minor fixes and improvements

### 1.1.5 — 2026-09-25

· Invite friends is back: you both get 30 credits when a friend signs up with your code
· Buy credit packs right in the app
