A driverless alternative to VB-CABLE
Most guides to translating PC audio start the same way: install a virtual audio cable, reroute your default output through it, and configure monitoring so you can still hear yourself. VoxisLive skips all of that. There is no virtual audio cable to install, no routing to configure, and no bot to invite into your call.
You install VoxisLive, pick the language you want to hear, and play whatever you want to understand. That is the entire setup — the same three steps whether you are watching a foreign-language stream, a webinar, or a podcast.
Why virtual audio cables cause friction
A virtual cable works by pretending to be a speaker. The moment you switch your default output to it, your real speakers go silent unless you add a monitoring loopback on top — an extra step that is easy to get wrong.
It is also easy to forget to switch everything back afterward, leaving your audio quietly routed to nowhere. And because these cables ship as drivers, they need installers, sometimes reboots, and can conflict with other audio software on your machine.
How WASAPI loopback captures your sound
VoxisLive captures your system audio with WASAPI process loopback, a capture mode built into Windows 10 and 11. Instead of rerouting anything, it reads a copy of the audio mix your PC is already playing. Think of it as tapping the stream without diverting it — your audio keeps flowing to your speakers untouched.
Because nothing is redirected, there is no fake device pretending to be a speaker. There is nothing to switch on, switch back, or forget about after you finish.
No feedback loops by design
Translating audio while playing the translation back through the same speakers is normally a recipe for an echo loop. VoxisLive avoids it at the capture layer: the process-aware loopback deliberately excludes VoxisLive's own output.
That means the translated voice it plays is never re-captured and re-translated. The exclusion happens automatically, so you do not need to juggle output devices or headphone tricks to keep the model from hearing itself.
79 languages, just seconds behind
VoxisLive covers 79 target languages and delivers simultaneous interpretation that stays just a few seconds behind the speaker, so you follow along in near real time rather than waiting for a finished clip.
Every session can produce a transcript export in TXT, SRT, and VTT, plus searchable history — useful for captions, notes, or reviewing what was said later. See the full feature list for details.
From passive listening to two-way meetings
The same loopback capture works for anything your PC plays: foreign-language streams, games without English voice acting, webinars, and podcasts. You hear the translation while the original keeps playing normally.
For live conversations, Meeting mode adds outgoing translation as well — without a bot joining the call — so both sides can understand each other in real time.
Get it your way
VoxisLive ships as a Windows app on the Microsoft Store with prepaid minutes, so you only pay for the time you actually translate. There is nothing to install beyond the app itself.
If you would rather bring your own API key, there is also a free, open-source build on GitHub. Either way you get the same driverless WASAPI loopback capture at the core.
