StreamLive ProCaptions and translation for live streams: what works today and what is coming
StreamLive Pro adds captions and translation to every recording and Short today. Captions and translation during the live broadcast itself are coming soon.
People search for "live translation" and "real-time captions" for two different needs: captions that viewers see during the broadcast, and captions on the recording and Shorts afterwards. Here is exactly what StreamLive Pro does for each, on 30 October 2026.
Available now: captions and translation after the broadcast
- A broadcast is kept as a recording when you press Record during it, or Keep recording on its card in Past streams soon after it ends; otherwise it is removed about 2 hours after the end. A kept recording is transcribed with a timestamp for every word.
- You can translate the captions into other languages; whole sentences are translated, not word by word.
- Captions can be burned into the video in a design you choose, or exported as SRT or VTT files.
- Shorts cut automatically from the broadcast come with captions, and translated versions if you asked for them.
- Hebrew is built right to left, with punctuation and numbers in the right place.
See automatic Hebrew subtitles and Shorts from every broadcast.
Coming soon: captions and translation during the live broadcast
- Live captions that viewers see while you broadcast: in development, not available to customers yet.
- Live translation in the StreamLive Pro Studio desktop app: captions translated during the broadcast with your own AI provider key (for example Google, DeepL, Claude or ChatGPT), with a short delay so you can correct a line before viewers see it. Planned, not released.
What StreamLive Pro does not do
There is no dubbing (replacing the voice with another language) and no voice cloning. Translation is text: captions and descriptions.
