Problem
Viewers of online video and live streams often lack real-time subtitles in their native language, making it difficult to understand content quickly, especially when tone and context are important. Existing captioning solutions are either platform‑specific, delayed, or unable to preserve speaker register, leading to misinterpretation and reduced accessibility.
Solution
Typingo delivers browser‑based, real‑time transcription and translation captions for any streaming media without requiring platform integrations. By capturing audio at the tab level, it works across sites such as YouTube, Netflix, Zoom, Twitch, and others. An AI model transcribes speech, detects the speaker’s tone (casual, polite, formal, narrative), and translates into over 100 languages while preserving contextual consistency across sentences. The system streams the first translated token in as little as 216 ms, keeping captions synchronized with playback. In multi‑speaker scenarios, diarization assigns separate caption tracks to each voice, allowing viewers to follow who said what.
Target Audience
Typingo is aimed at individual viewers, educators, and professionals who consume multilingual streaming content, as well as organizations that host webinars, online courses, or live events and need accessible, real‑time subtitles for diverse audiences.
