Translate an Instagram Live in Real Time
- 1
Open the live you want to watch
Any Instagram Live on instagram.com, in another browser tab.
- 2
Pick your languages
Set the language the creator speaks and the language you want to read. Tab capture is already selected.
- 3
Press Record, then pick that tab
Choose the Instagram tab in the picker, tick Share tab audio. Translated captions appear here as the creator speaks.
When the tab picker opens, tick Share tab audio — without it there is no sound to translate.
Also Available on iOS and Android
- 1
Open Whisperr and pick your languages
Set the language the creator speaks and the language you want to read.
- 2
Turn on Floating Subtitles
Grant the overlay permission once. The captions become a movable bubble that sits above whatever app is in front.
- 3
Switch to Instagram and watch
Translated subtitles follow the audio on top of the Instagram app. Drag them anywhere on screen while you watch.
Also Available on Mac and Windows
The desktop app captures system audio, so it translates whatever is playing — the browser, a desktop player, or a second app — without picking a tab each time.
- 1
Install the Mac or Windows app
Sign in with the same account. The desktop app captures system audio directly rather than a single browser tab.
- 2
Choose System Audio and your languages
Pick the creator’s language and the one you want to read. Nothing needs to be shared or selected per stream.
- 3
Press Record and play the stream
Subtitles appear in a window you can park beside the video, and keep working when you switch tabs or apps.
What users say
Top-Notch Speech Recognition and Flashcard-Style Translations for Fast Study
“Whisperr's speech recognition and translation quality are both top-notch, and better than similar tools I've tried so far. As a Japanese learner, I especially like how Whisperr displays each sentence and its translation almost like flashcards, with a text-to-speech button for each one. Whisperr has removed a huge barrier to interacting with foreign-language speakers in real time, and to consuming video content that doesn't already have a translation.”
Awesome
“This is very useful, extremely user-friendly, easy to use, and the recognition capability is very precise, with very fast speed. It should be the most accurate and fastest translation I've used so far.”
Easy to use
“Whisperr is easy to get started and no hassle at all. A great tool to learn languages and for travelling.”
Exceptional outcomes
“I attempted English to Hindi translation and achieved highly accurate results.”
Amazing
“Using it for Spanish to English and it’s amazing!”
Worth hundreds of thousands of yen
“The same performance as other conversation translation apps. Those charge by the minute, but this one is apparently a one-time purchase, so the value for money is outstanding. Compared with about five similar apps, this one is the best on both performance and price. I wonder whether it was made by a Japanese developer??”
