How Real-Time Stream Translation Works
StreamTranslate uses a three-stage pipeline: 1) Your stream audio is captured and sent to Deepgram's nova-2 AI model for transcription, 2) The transcription is sent to neural translation APIs to produce the target language text, 3) The translated subtitle is displayed on your stream via OBS browser source overlay. This entire process takes under 2 seconds.
