Live
Real-time local subtitles
LingatherLive
Understand any live stream — before the subtitles arrive.
Lingather Live is a Chrome extension that generates real-time subtitles and translation for any audio playing in your browser. Speech recognition and translation run 100% on your device — your audio never leaves your computer.
Purpose-built for Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.
What it does
Real-time subtitles and translation for anything playing in your browser — running entirely on your device.
- Real-time subtitles for audio on almost any site — live streams, videos, lectures, podcasts
- Specialized speech recognition for Japanese, Chinese, and Korean (plus English)
- Instant translation into 30+ languages with side-by-side dual subtitles
- 100% on-device — recognition and translation run inside your browser, nothing is uploaded
Private by architecture
Speech recognition and translation run 100% on your device using on-device AI models (WebAssembly and the browser's built-in translator). Your audio is never uploaded, never stored, and never sent to a server — privacy by architecture, not just by policy.
Who it helps
- Fans following Japanese, Chinese, or Korean creators and live streams without official subtitles
- Viewers of foreign lectures, talks, and podcasts who want to understand as they listen
- Language learners who want the original and translation side by side, privately on-device
Current status
Lingather Live is available on the Chrome Web Store. It is free every day, with an optional Pro upgrade for unlimited translation.
