Streamer.bot + Live Subtitles
Streamer.bot automates everything.
Except understanding you.
Streamer.bot is one of the most powerful stream automation tools available — chat commands, alerts, channel point rewards, event triggers. It does zero speech recognition. StreamTranslate adds that missing layer: real-time captions and translation via a browser source that runs quietly alongside your entire Streamer.bot setup.
No downloads. No API keys. Works with any browser source compatible software.
The Short Answer
StreamTranslate and Streamer.bot run independently and don't interfere. StreamTranslate is a browser source overlay in OBS. Streamer.bot is a separate application managing automation. Add StreamTranslate's URL as a browser source, and your captions are live — your Streamer.bot flows are completely unaffected.
ℹ What Streamer.bot Does (and What StreamTranslate Adds)
Streamer.bot is an event-driven automation engine. It listens to Twitch/YouTube events — chat messages, subscriptions, channel point redemptions, raids — and executes actions in response: playing sounds, triggering OBS scene switches, sending API calls, running macros. Speech-to-text and live translation are outside its scope. StreamTranslate is purpose-built for exactly that, operating as a transparent overlay layer in OBS.
How to Add Subtitles to a Streamer.bot Stream
Setup — 60 seconds
- Go to streamtranslate.live and create your overlay.
- Copy your unique overlay URL.
- In OBS or Streamlabs, add a Browser Source layer. Paste your StreamTranslate URL. Set to 1920×1080.
- Position the subtitle layer in your scene. That's it — Streamer.bot is not involved and continues working normally.
- Go live. StreamTranslate listens to your mic independently and displays captions on stream.

Common Questions
Will StreamTranslate slow down or interfere with Streamer.bot?
No. They operate completely independently. Streamer.bot runs as a desktop application reacting to stream events. StreamTranslate runs as a browser source in OBS. There is no shared state, no port conflicts, and no interaction between them.
Can I use Streamer.bot to pause or mute StreamTranslate captions?
StreamTranslate has its own control page where you can pause or mute captions. You could use Streamer.bot's HTTP request action to send commands to StreamTranslate's API if you want to trigger caption pauses from chat commands — this is an advanced setup and not required for basic use.
Does this work on Twitch and YouTube?
Yes. StreamTranslate works regardless of which platform you stream to. Streamer.bot also supports Twitch and YouTube independently. Both tools work across both platforms.
