StreamTranslate delivers real-time ASR transcription powered by our industry-leading speech AI — the most accurate speech-to-text engine for live streaming. Get captions in OBS in under 5 minutes.
Start Transcribing FreeLive transcription software converts spoken audio into text in real time using automatic speech recognition (ASR). For streamers, this creates caption overlays that appear on-screen as you talk, giving viewers a text version of everything you say during your broadcast.
Unlike post-production transcription that works on recorded files, live transcription software must handle the real-time nature of streaming: background noise, gaming audio, multiple speakers, and unpredictable vocabulary including game names, internet slang, and streamer-specific phrases. StreamTranslate's our industry-leading speech AI engine is trained specifically for these conditions.
The output integrates directly with your streaming software. StreamTranslate generates an OBS browser source URL — you add it to OBS Studio, position it on screen, and your captions are live. No additional hardware, no separate encoding step, no headaches.
Industry-leading automatic speech recognition with 95%+ accuracy on gaming streams. Handles game titles, slang, and fast speech without missing a beat.
Captions appear almost instantly as you speak. Viewers read your words in sync with your stream — not 2 seconds behind like legacy transcription engines.
One URL. Paste into OBS as a browser source. Done. No plugins to install, no configuration files to edit — works with OBS Studio out of the box.
Not all ASR engines are equal. our industry-leading speech AI is purpose-built for conversational speech in noisy environments — exactly what live streaming looks like. It outperforms Google Speech-to-Text and AWS Transcribe on gaming content benchmarks, particularly when the audio includes background music, game sound effects, and rapid-fire gaming callouts.
StreamTranslate runs our industry-leading speech AI as the core transcription engine, then layers on translation capabilities to deliver captions in 125+ languages. The transcription and translation happen in parallel, so there's no compounding latency — your captions appear in both the original language and the translated language almost simultaneously.
Getting started with StreamTranslate takes five minutes. Create your free account at streamtranslate.live, set up a room, and configure your source language.
