LiveCaptions Translator
LiveCaptions Translator is a Windows utility that integrates translation APIs with the native Windows Live Captions feature to provide real-time speech translation.
LiveCaptions Translator combines the native Windows Live Captions feature with various translation engines to translate audio in real-time. It requires Windows 11 22H2 or higher and works by capturing data from the system's built-in captioning tool. Users can choose from multiple translation providers, including LLM-based options like Ollama, OpenAI-compatible APIs, and OpenRouter, as well as traditional services like Google Translate, DeepL, and Youdao. The application offers a borderless, transparent overlay window for displaying subtitles, which can be customized in terms of color, font size, and background transparency. It is designed for Windows users who need on-screen translation for gaming, video consumption, or live streams.
