Live translated captions on the page you are watching, from that tab's audio. Watch anything in a language you don't speak, and read it in one you do. Click the LiveLingo icon on a tab that is playing audio. A small panel appears on the page: pick the language you are listening to, pick the one you read, and press Start. Translated captions appear over the page a second or two behind the speaker and keep flowing as the person talks, not after they stop. It reads the tab's own audio, so it works on anything that plays in Chrome: a livestream, a recorded talk, a lecture, a webinar, a browser-based meeting, a podcast, a news broadcast. Nothing to install on the site's side, no captions required from the publisher, and no microphone involved. HOW IT READS Two lines, the way an interpreter works. On top, the original speech as it is heard. Below it, the translation in your language, large enough to read from across the desk. Numbers, names and amounts are picked out in gold, and a negation, the "not" that flips a sentence's meaning, is marked in red, because that is the one word you cannot afford to skim past. When more than one person speaks, each change of speaker is marked, so a panel discussion or a meeting reads as an exchange instead of a wall of text. Finished lines stay on screen while the next one builds, so you can catch up without scrubbing back. Drag the panel anywhere on the page, drag its corner to size it, and swap the direction mid-session with one click. 35 LANGUAGES English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, Italian, Dutch, Turkish, Polish, Hebrew, Ukrainian, Indonesian, Swedish, Bengali, Urdu, Danish, Norwegian, Greek, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Slovak, Tagalog, Persian, Finnish, Malay and Arabic. Any of them to any other. ACCURACY YOU CAN CHECK In an independent comprehension benchmark of 120 cells, across 4 language pairs and 5 conversational scenarios, scored by 3 LLM judges, LiveLingo placed first or tied for first in 114 of them (95%). The full method, the transcripts and the scores are published at livelingo.io/research/benchmark-2026, so you can read how it was run rather than take the number on faith. WHAT IT COSTS 3 minutes a day free, no account needed. Pro is $19.99/month for 300 minutes, Pro+ $29.99/month for 500. Your minutes are the same minutes as the LiveLingo web app, so signing in here just continues the plan you already have. PRIVACY The extension only ever touches the tab you click it on. Audio is streamed for translation while a session runs and is not stored, captions are not saved, and the microphone is never used. Nothing is sent anywhere before you press Start. LiveLingo also runs on the web at livelingo.io/app, and on iPhone and Android with photo translation, translated phone calls to any real number, and AI meeting memos.
