How StreamTranslate Handles Your Audio

Privacy is a genuine concern for streamers using live captioning services. Your stream audio contains your voice, your conversations, and everything you say during a broadcast — including off-the-cuff comments, interactions with friends in voice chat, and potentially personal information mentioned in conversation. Understanding how captioning services handle this audio is important before choosing one.

StreamTranslate's caption pipeline works as follows: your browser source captures microphone audio in small chunks, transmits those chunks via encrypted real-time connection to our industry-leading speech AI ASR servers, receives transcribed text back, and displays that text as captions. The audio chunks are processed for transcription in real time and are not retained as stored audio files on StreamTranslate's systems after processing.

our industry-leading speech AI and Audio Privacy

advanced AI, the ASR provider behind StreamTranslate's caption engine, operates under privacy practices that include not training their models on customer audio without explicit consent. This means the audio from your streams is processed for transcription purposes only and is not used to improve the underlying enterprise speech AI model without your agreement.

All audio transmission between your browser source and advanced AI's servers is encrypted in transit using TLS, ensuring that your audio data cannot be intercepted by third parties during transmission. This encryption applies to both the audio chunks sent for transcription and the text returned as caption output.

StreamTranslate does not store your raw stream audio after real-time transcription processing. Your voice data stays private.
