Hono Subtitles, for the Internet's Unsubtitled Corners
An iPhone app that turns audio from videos, livestreams, podcasts, lectures, and meetings into live translated subtitles floating over any app.
Field notes
Hono uses iOS audio sharing as the bridge between the app being watched and its subtitle window. The documented sequence is language selection, a system confirmation, and a return to the original video; the window can then be dragged, resized, or reopened if another Picture in Picture session displaces it. The page lists seven interface languages and describes three display modes, including a translation-only layout and one showing original and translated sentences together.
