Translate a TikTok Live in Real Time
- 1
Open the live you want to watch
Any TikTok Live at tiktok.com/live, 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 TikTok tab in the picker, tick Share tab audio. Translated captions appear here as the creator speaks.
- 4
Pop the subtitles out over the video
Opens the subtitles in a small window that stays on top, so you can watch in the other tab and still read along.
When the tab picker opens, tick Share tab audio — without it there is no sound to translate.
On Mac or Windows, choose System audio in the Whisperr desktop app. It captures anything playing on the computer, including other apps.
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 TikTok and watch
Translated subtitles follow the audio on top of the TikTok 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.

Keep a transcript of your live
Everything you say is transcribed as you go, so you end the live with a full text transcript you can reuse for captions, clips, and recaps.
Watch any live video — translated
YouTube Live, TikTok Live, Twitch, Kick, Discord and more: follow any stream in your own language, with Floating Subtitles on top of what you're watching.

Web app
Save to Cloud
Turn on Save to Cloud and each conversation is stored in your Whisperr account, so you can reopen it from Recent Conversations on any device you sign in on. Turn it off and nothing is kept.
iPhone & Android
Stored on your phone
Transcripts are saved locally on your phone and never uploaded to the cloud. Delete any conversation whenever you want.
Mac & Windows
Stored on your computer
The desktop app keeps your conversation history on your computer, without sending it to the cloud.
Privacy first
Whisperr translates your conversations without keeping them.
Audio is never stored
Your audio is processed in real time to produce the transcript and translation, then discarded.
Nothing saved unless you choose
Transcripts and translations are not stored on our servers unless you turn on Save to Cloud.
Never used to train AI
Your audio, transcripts and translations are never used to train AI models, and our service providers can't use them either.
Encrypted in transit
Everything between your device and Whisperr is encrypted with TLS 1.2 or higher.

What users say
Whisperr review
“I love how easy Whisperr is to use and how it accurately understands and translates text and speech across different languages. It's so effective that even in scenarios where other tools might fail, Whisperr performs perfectly. Additionally, the ability to select languages for translation directly on a phone is fantastic. This feature helps us translate church services, ensuring everyone understands without missing anything important. The initial setup was straightforward, making it smooth to start using immediately.”
Fast Translations and a Clear, Easy-to-Read Layout
“It translated really fast, and the way the text appears on the screen—with its clear layout—is very easy to read.”
Whisperr Delivers Lightning-Fast, Highly Accurate Real-Time Translation
“The translation is extremely fast and accurate; after comparing several programs, I consider Whisperr to be the fastest and most accurate real-time translation app.”
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. Beyond that, 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. That setup makes studying feel fast and efficient, and it's easy to review sentence by sentence.”
Simple Real-Time Translation for Work
“I like best about Whisperr is that it feels simple and straightforward to use.”
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??”
