LiveTranslate: Real-Time Subtitles for Twitch, YouTube & VTubers

Real-time subtitles the moment words are spoken — Twitch, YouTube, VTubers, your videos. 15 languages. Stop waiting for captions.

😤 You know the feeling. Your favourite streamer is live in Japanese, chat is already laughing, and you don't speak a word of it. So you go looking for live translation, install the first thing you find — and it's late. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. 🎧 LiveTranslate — Friskription fixes that! No caption track needed. No uploads. No second app. No waiting. No configuring API Keys. Press start and enjoy. ▶️ ⚡ THE TRANSLATION IS THE EASY PART. 🧠 ANY AI APP CAN TRANSLATE. ⚡ THE HARD PART IS KNOWING WHEN. Pointing a translator at live audio is the easy part. The reason most live subtitles come out as a word salad is that they translate fragments — "so what I want to" is three words short of meaning anything, and no translator can rescue it. We got out of that trade by fixing what goes in. Speech is cut where the speaker actually pauses — not on a timer — a complete thought arrives at the translator the moment it's complete. Nothing to wait for, nothing to guess at. FAST is EASY. FAST and RIGHT is the part that took the engineering. 🎯 📺 LIVE SUBTITLES AND REAL-TIME TRANSLATION FOR 🎀 VTuber streams, clips and karaoke — Japanese to English and back again 🟣 Twitch live broadcasts, where there are no captions to translate 🔴 YouTube videos, premieres and live streams 📰 News, sports, interviews, lectures, conference talks and podcasts 🌐 Basically any site that plays sound in a tab If it makes noise in your browser, it can have subtitles. 🎬 AND YOUR OWN FILES, TOO — THE MEDIA STUDIO Got a downloaded lecture, a podcast episode, an interview, a home video? Drag it in — MP4, WebM, MP3, M4A and WAV all work — and take your pick: ▶️ Watch it with live subtitles as it plays 📝 Turn it into a subtitle file — the whole thing, or just the part you care about — and download it as SRT or VTT 📂 Already have an SRT or VTT? Load it beside your video and just watch. Free, no setup, no sign-in. 📖 Read along beside the picture. Every line is listed next to the video, the current one follows the speech, and clicking any line jumps straight to that moment. 🧪 Not sure about a long file? Make a two-minute sample first and see the result before committing to the whole thing. 🔇 Silence is never billed. Quiet stretches don't count against your minutes, and the finished report tells you how many minutes that saved. ⏱️ Subtitles running early or late? Nudge them into place with a slider. 💻 Your file never leaves your computer — only short pieces of audio go out to be transcribed. Finished subtitles wait under "Recent subtitle files" for 7 days, ready to download or re-watch. 🌍 15 LANGUAGES — AND THE APP SPEAKS THEM TOO Translate speech into English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Italian, Vietnamese, Thai or Indonesian — from whatever language is being spoken. The extension's own menus and help text are translated into all 15 as well — not just the subtitles. ✨ ⭐ Pin your favourites and flip between them with a keyboard shortcut, without missing a beat of the stream. ⚡ TWO WAYS TO RUN IT 🚀 Instant — sign in with Google and go. No API keys, no provider accounts, nothing to configure. 30 free minutes every week, refilled every Monday, plan or no plan. Want more? Pick a monthly plan — minutes arrive every month, first month half price, cancel anytime — or top up with one-time minute packs that never expire. 🔑 Your own API keys — bring an OpenAI, Anthropic or ElevenLabs key and run the whole thing on your own account. Nothing routes through our servers, and there's nothing extra to pay us. Choose during the guided setup, and switch any time you like. 🔄 ⏱️ SUBTITLES THAT KEEP UP WITH THE STREAM This is the part other subtitle translators get wrong. Pick how the timing feels: 🎯 Live Sync & Balanced Sync — subtitles land as the words are spoken. About as close to real time as subtitles get. 🎚️ Quick, Balanced, Precise — leave playback completely untouched and tune how long we wait for a sentence to finish. 🛠️ BUILT FOR ACTUALLY WATCHING THINGS 📖 Glossary / name lock — character names, show titles and in-jokes translated the way they're *supposed* to be, every single time 🗣️ Speaker labels — tell people apart in multi-person audio 🎨 An overlay you control — font size, colours, opacity, position, how many lines stay on screen 💾 Transcript history — export what you watched as TXT, SRT or VTT ⌨️ Keyboard shortcuts — start/stop, pause, hide the overlay, clear lines, cycle languages 🌐 Per-site presets — different timing and languages per website 🎉 NEW IN 2.5 🗓️ Monthly plans, so you can stop counting. Pick a plan and the minutes arrive every month by themselves — first month half price, cancel whenever you like, and the month you already paid for runs to its end. The 30 free minutes every week are untouched, plan or no plan. ♾️ Packs are top-ups now. Watched more than the month allowed? A pack tops you back up, those minutes never expire, and they are the last ones spent. 📊 My Account shows where your minutes stand. What the plan gives you, when it renews, and the order they go in: plan minutes first, then the free weekly ones, then anything you bought. ✨ Also in this release • The pricing page leads with the plans, with the packs beneath them as top-ups 🔒 PRIVACY Your API keys stay on your device. In Instant mode, audio passes through our server only to reach the speech and translation providers — it isn't stored in a database. We don't sell data, we don't build advertising profiles, and we don't run remotely hosted code. 📄 Website: https://friskription.com/ (Read up on how we do things different!) Stop reading captions that arrive after the moment has passed. Install Friskription and watch anything, in a language you actually speak. 🎧 Made with ❤️ by OsakaMcFrisk.
