Start with free minutes, then choose a subscription or pay-as-you-go minute packs. Live Subtitles is a live caption and speech-to-text app that converts any audio or video into real-time subtitles and translation. The app instantly transcribes speech and displays bilingual captions, showing both the original language and the translated text at the same time. Subtitles appear as a floating overlay on top of any app — videos, calls, live streams, social media, podcasts, online courses, and more. Live Subtitles helps you understand spoken content in real time, without language barriers. Live Caption for Any System Audio Unlike traditional caption or transcription tools, Live Subtitles captures system audio directly, with a microphone mode for conversations. This ensures: • perfectly synchronized captions • clear and accurate speech-to-text transcription • no background noise, echo, or distortion • reliable performance for work, study, entertainment, and multilingual communication If audio plays on your device, Live Subtitles can automatically generate live captions for it. Works with Any Audio Source Live Subtitles supports live captioning and real-time translation for: • streaming platforms and video services • video calls and online meetings • podcasts, music, and audiobooks • live streams and broadcasts • social media and short-form video • voice calls and conversations A floating caption window stays on top of any app without interfering with what you’re watching or doing. Dual Subtitles & Real-Time Speech Translation • Dual subtitles — original speech and live translation shown together • Real-time speech-to-text transcription • Supports 50+ languages • Instant language switching This makes Live Subtitles ideal for language learners, international communication, travel, and content without built-in captions.

Turn every class into text, translations, and study-ready highlights you can revisit anytime. BeginClass is a smart lecture-notes app built for classes, online courses, seminars, and learning across languages. Follow a live transcript while the class is happening, then review the recording, transcript, bookmarks, translations, and AI summary together after class. LIVE LECTURE TRANSCRIPTION Choose the language being spoken and see timestamped transcript segments appear while you record. It is useful for university lectures, online courses, seminars, interviews, meetings, and study discussions. REAL-TIME TRANSLATION Display the original transcript and translated text together for supported language pairs, helping you keep up in a class taught in another language. You can also translate the complete saved transcript after class. RECORDING, TRANSCRIPT, AND BOOKMARKS TOGETHER Each recording stays with its transcript. Listen while you read, add bookmarks during class, and return quickly to the moments you want to review. AI CLASS SUMMARIES Create a structured summary from a saved transcript to identify key ideas, learning points, and review cues. The transcript is sent to the AI service only when you explicitly request a summary.
