How to translate a YouTube live stream

Three ways to add live translated subtitles to YouTube โ€” on phone or desktop.

  1. 1

    Floating subtitles on iOS & Android

    Open the Whisperr iOS or Android app, start transcription, enable Floating Subtitles, then switch to YouTube. Translated captions float on top of the video โ€” no app switching while you watch.

  2. 2

    Browser tab capture (Chrome Extension or Web App)

    Open the stream in a Chrome tab and use the Whisperr Chrome Extension or Web App to capture the tab audio. Best quality โ€” digital audio with no background noise. Split the screen to read subtitles beside the video.

  3. 3

    Microphone / audio capture

    Watching on a TV or another device? Let Whisperr listen through your microphone and show translated subtitles in real time.
