macOS live translated subtitles

KoeSub

KoeSub is a simple macOS menu bar app that listens to selected audio sources and displays translated subtitles in real time.

Translate Mac audio

Use KoeSub to display translated subtitles for audio playing on your Mac, such as meetings, videos, and other spoken content.

Use microphone input

Choose microphone input when you want spoken words around you to be recognized and translated into the selected target language.

Menu bar control

Start and stop translation from the menu bar. KoeSub stays idle until you explicitly turn translation on.

Built for quick understanding

KoeSub is designed for situations where a real-time translated subtitle can help you follow spoken content more easily.

Speech recognition and translation quality can vary depending on audio clarity, speaker accent, background noise, device settings, supported language availability, and Apple system framework behavior. KoeSub is not intended to guarantee perfect transcription or translation.
