LIVE STREAMING

# Live stream translation, whatever the platform

Twitch, YouTube Live, Kick or a desktop client — VoxisLive takes whatever live audio is playing on your PC and speaks it in your language while you keep your eyes on the action.

## Watch a foreign-language streamer without looking away

Live streaming is a visual experience. Subtitle tools force you to choose between watching the gameplay and reading captions at the bottom of the screen. VoxisLive removes that trade-off by delivering translation as **spoken voice** instead of text, so you can keep your eyes on the action.

The result feels like a live interpreter sitting beside you. VoxisLive stays only a few seconds behind the original streamer, translating in real time so you follow the moment as it happens rather than catching up after it has passed.

## How VoxisLive translates a live stream on Windows

VoxisLive captures stream audio directly through Windows **WASAPI process-loopback** — no drivers, no virtual audio cables, and no bots to configure. It works with Twitch, YouTube Live, and other streaming platforms straight out of the box. If you are watching on Twitch specifically, the step-by-step setup lives on the [Twitch stream translation](https://voxislive.com/use-cases/twitch-stream-voice-translation) page.

The app is smart about its own output: it excludes the translated voice it produces so it never re-translates itself. In Video/Game mode, the original stream audio ducks down while the translation speaks, then returns to full volume — you still hear the streamer, the crowd, and the game underneath. See [how it works](https://voxislive.com/how-it-works) for the full pipeline.

## Spoken translation, not a caption bar

Rather than crowding your screen with a scrolling caption bar, VoxisLive synthesizes natural-sounding voices for the translation. You listen instead of read, which keeps streaming immersive and hands-free.

VoxisLive supports **79 target languages**, so you can follow creators broadcasting in almost any language. When you want a record of a session, you can export it as a TXT, SRT, or VTT transcript for later reference.

## Built for the pace of live content

Streams move fast — banter, callouts, and reactions land in the moment. VoxisLive stays a few seconds behind the original speech — close enough to keep jokes, clutch plays and chat reactions in sync with what you are hearing.

Because it reads system audio at the source, it does not depend on the platform offering captions or on a translated broadcast existing. Any live audio playing on your PC can be translated as it plays.

## Getting started with live stream translation

You can install VoxisLive from the Microsoft Store and start translating in minutes. Usage runs on **prepaid minutes**, so you only pay for the time you actually translate — see [pricing](https://voxislive.com/pricing) for current rates. On Linux, install it from the Snap Store instead: `sudo snap install voxis`.

Curious how it works under the hood? The core audio pipeline is **published as source-available on GitHub**. [Download VoxisLive](https://voxislive.com/download) to get started.

FAQ

## Common questions

### Does it work on streaming platforms other than Twitch?

Yes. VoxisLive captures your system audio through WASAPI process-loopback and translates it live, working with Twitch, YouTube Live, and other streaming platforms as the audio plays.

### Do I need a virtual audio cable or a bot to make it work?

No. VoxisLive uses driverless WASAPI process-loopback to capture stream audio directly, so there are no virtual audio cables, drivers, or bots to set up.

### Will I still hear the original streamer?

Yes. In Video/Game mode the original stream audio is preserved underneath the translation — it ducks down while the translated voice speaks, then returns to full volume so you keep hearing the streamer and the game.

### How many languages can it translate into?

VoxisLive supports **79 target languages** for spoken translation output, covering the vast majority of creators broadcasting in a foreign language.

### Does it show subtitles or speak the translation?

It speaks. VoxisLive synthesizes a natural-sounding voice instead of showing a caption bar, so you can watch hands-free. If you want text, you can still export the session as a TXT, SRT, or VTT transcript.

### How much does it cost to use?

The Microsoft Store version runs on **prepaid minutes**, so you pay only for the time you translate. A paid Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) unlock inside the app lets you use your own Gemini or Qwen API key instead of a subscription — it's not free, and not a separate download. See [pricing](https://voxislive.com/pricing) for details.
