ReTrans
Live translated captions

Speak freely. They'll read along.

ReTrans turns your speaker's voice into translated captions on your live stream, within seconds, in the language your audience reads.

Your speaker's voice, captioned live

An illustration of how captions appear on your stream.

How it works

Three steps. Then just speak.

Nothing to install, and nothing heavy running on your computer. The AI does its work in the cloud.

STEP 01

Sign in and start

Choose the language being spoken and press start.

STEP 02

Add captions to your stream

Add your personal captions link to your streaming software once. Nothing shows until someone speaks.

STEP 03

Go live

Captions appear over your video as the speaker talks. Press stop when the service ends.

What you need

Things you probably already have

No special or expensive hardware. The AI translation happens in the cloud, not on your computer, so an ordinary computer is enough.

  • A computer with a web browserNear the speaker, or connected to your sound desk. The browser tab listens to the microphone, so keep it open during the service.
  • Your favourite streaming appOBS Studio, vMix, or any app that can show a web page over your video.
  • An internet connectionThe one you already stream on is enough.
  • A ReTrans accountWe set it up for you. Get in touch to get started.

Features

Made to sit quietly on your video

Captions that help a viewer follow along without competing with the speaker.

Captions that read naturally

Whole sentences rather than broken fragments, so they are easy to follow.

Tell it what's being said

Add a short hint such as "a sermon, with Bible readings" so the right words are chosen.

Previous lines, faded

Earlier captions fade above the current one, so nobody gets lost.

See it before you go live

Fonts, colours, size and position, with a live preview and ready-made styles.

Your own settings and link

Each account has its own settings and its own private captions link.

It tells you when something's wrong

A silent microphone, a dropped connection or the wrong language detected shows up as a plain warning, instead of an empty screen.

A word filter

Mask words you never want on screen, and try it out first.

Languages

Speak in one language, caption in another

Choose the main spoken language. English is always understood too, so a sentence or a few English words in the middle of a talk are captioned normally.

  • English

What to expect

Translations are generated by AI and can be wrong, especially with names, scripture quotations and fast or overlapping speech. ReTrans says so on screen while captions are running. It is a help for viewers who would otherwise understand nothing, not a replacement for a human interpreter where accuracy is critical.

FAQ

Questions you may have

How do I get access?

ReTrans accounts are set up for you rather than signed up for. Get in touch and we'll get you started.

How long before a caption appears?

Usually two to five seconds after a sentence ends. ReTrans waits for each sentence to finish before translating it, so viewers read whole sentences rather than words that keep changing.

How accurate are the captions?

Good with clear speech, but they are AI translations and can be wrong — most often with names, scripture quotations, and fast or overlapping speech. A short note saying so stays on screen while captions are running.

Which streaming apps does it work with?

OBS Studio, vMix, or any app that can show a web page over your video. You add your captions link once, and it stays in your scene.

Is the audio recorded?

No. ReTrans does not record or store the audio, and does not keep what was said. The audio is sent to a cloud AI service only to produce the captions.

Do I need a powerful computer?

No. The translation is done in the cloud, so nothing heavy runs on your computer and you don't need powerful or expensive hardware. An ordinary computer with a web browser and an internet connection is enough.

Do I need to install anything?

No. ReTrans runs in your web browser, and your streaming app simply shows your captions link.
