Stream Translator puts translated subtitles over Windows video
A Windows app that overlays translated subtitles on live streams and local videos, using local speech recognition and translation, cloud APIs, or a mix.
- For
- Windows viewers watching foreign-language streams and videos
- Worth noticing
- Recognition and translation can be mixed independently; local speech recognition runs on CPU, but fully local translation requires a GPU.
Field notes
The setup separates speech recognition from translation, so users can choose local processing or an API for each stage rather than committing to one route. The FAQ says local speech recognition runs on CPU, while local translation requires a GPU; in fully local mode, audio and translated text stay on the computer. The homepage lists version 1.4.8, dated September 22, 2026, and says YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, X Spaces, and X livestreams have been tested.
