Controls in the left rail, the translation stream in the middle, and a strip on top that tells you what the session is doing. The rule is simple: one control, one sentence. Anything more sits behind the ⓘ.

• The app's own look: a dark ground and one warm accent.
• Every section's ⓘ says what it does, what most people pick, and the ⚠ to watch.

Basis

The app's interface reference.

Limit

Most settings apply instantly; the few that need Save say so beside them.

Video & Game translates everything the computer plays, one way. Meeting is two-way — you and the other party — and needs headphones and a virtual microphone. Without one, the session will not start.

• When the free taste runs out, Meeting shows a lock icon.
• Meeting ignores the Source choice.

Basis

The app's scenario tiles and their caveat.

Limit

Meeting is not part of the free tier.

System audio takes everything playing on the computer and leaves Voxis's own voice out. Input device translates the microphone, mixer or line-in you pick. For most people: System audio.

• Windows “Listen to this device” is invisible to System audio; use Input device instead.
• An interface in ASIO mode is not listed.

Basis

The app's ⓘ text.

Limit

No ducking and no echo suppression on the Input device path.

Pick the language you want to hear. You never pick the spoken one; it's detected on its own. In Meeting, the second picker sets the language the other side hears you in, and ⇄ swaps the two and restarts the session. On the free plan all 79 languages are translated, but not all are spoken.

• No source-language picker, on purpose.
• Voice gender and dubbing exist only in some languages (Settings › Translation › Voice).

Basis

The app's ⓘ text.

Limit

Changing a language mid-session restarts the session.

Captions arrive word by word: a grey source line on top, the translation bubble with an amber caret below. When a second voice joins, S1/S2 labels appear; in Meeting, “Them” and “Me”. Skip jumps past the current sentence. Fast mode shows captions without waiting for the voice and speeds a lagging voice up to 1.5× without changing pitch.

• The source line attaches when the turn ends; until then the live SOURCE line above stands in.
• S1/S2 run on your device; the spoken translation keeps one voice.
• Skip only cuts the incoming direction.

Basis

The app's stream behaviour and its Fast mode tip.

Limit

Labels appear only once two voices are heard; music and overlap degrade them.

Original audio (while speaking) sets how far the original drops while a sentence is translated; the default is 30%. Audio sets which device the translated voice plays on, and how loud; Sound check tells you whether Voxis can hear anything before you start. For most people: headphones as the output, volume at 100%.

• Ducking lowers the whole application, not just its speech.
• Speakers cause an echo in Meeting.

Basis

The app's ⓘ texts.

Limit

Sound check opens only when no session is running.

Subtitles fill the stream inside the Voxis window. On-screen text is a separate bar that floats over a full-screen video or game and shows the translation only. Four looks, three sizes, top or bottom; Ctrl+Alt+O. For most people: subtitles on, and on-screen text on too while you watch full screen.

• Pick the look in Settings › General › Appearance; while it is on, changes apply instantly.
• The source line never appears in the on-screen text.

Basis

The app's ⓘ and its look presets.

Limit

Free tier: the “Powered by Voxis” badge stays on.

Source

in-app copy

Three controls that only appear in Meeting. Your voice: the real microphone that picks you up; CABLE isn't listed here, and that's normal. Names: yours and the other person's go through exactly as written, never translated. Listen to my translation: you hear what the other side hears; turn it on only with headphones.

• The cable is hidden in Voxis's lists; you pick it in the meeting app.
• One-word replies can be mistranslated; say “Yes, alright”.

Basis

The app's ⓘ texts.

Limit

Listen to my translation on speakers means feedback.

The status pill reads Idle, Connecting or Active, and its dot shows the mode: amber for Video, blue for Meeting. Next to it, the meter and dB: if they don't move while sound is clearly playing, the problem is capture, not translation. The quota bar shows your minutes left; on the free tier a chip counts down the Pro taste and switches to the free voice when it ends. On the right: Report a problem, theme, History, Settings.

• Report: a scrubbed log plus diagnostics; the transcript only if you tick the box.
• The quota bar is hidden on BYOK.

Basis

The app's top bar and its Report a problem dialog.

Limit

Diagnostics are captured the moment you open the dialog, so send right after the problem.

General: interface language, theme, on-screen text look, speaker labels. Audio: devices, sound check, audio recording (WAV). Translation: profile, voice, terms. Saving: transcript folder and formats. Then Keyboard shortcuts, Membership and About. For most people: the defaults, and the profile closest to what you watch.

• The Account and key section appears only for BYOK unlock buyers: it takes your own Google Gemini or Alibaba Qwen API key and recognises the provider from its prefix.
• Terms go to every target language; at most 200.
• Audio recording (WAV) is Video & Game only.
• Click any tab; the automatic tour then waits 12 seconds.

Basis

The app's Settings window and ⓘ texts.

Limit

A profile is not a “quality mode”: it bundles speech-detection sensitivity and ducking.

Every session is saved to its own folder: when it stops, and every couple of minutes while it runs. Search your history, star a session, edit a line, export bilingual TXT, SRT or VTT. The AI summary is on paid plans and runs only when you ask.

• Delete removes the whole folder; starred sessions are exempt from cleanup.
• Only the text and the source line are editable; timings stay put.

Basis

The app's History dialog.

Limit

Subtitle timings are approximate; the summary is never automatic.

Ctrl+Alt+1 Video & Game, Ctrl+Alt+2 Meeting, Ctrl+Alt+0 Stop, Ctrl+Alt+O on-screen text. They work while Voxis is in the background; change them in Settings › Keyboard shortcuts. The intro tour can be replayed from Settings › General.

• Click a shortcut box and press the new combination.

Basis

The app's Keyboard shortcuts tab.

Limit

Shortcuts exist only in the Windows app.
