Live caption translation in 20 languages
Translate live speech or uploaded media into 20 languages, read bilingual captions, and export single-language or bilingual subtitles.
TanLens translates live speech and uploaded media into 20 languages. The source can be detected automatically, and each session produces a target language you choose, shown under the original line. The same translation is what gets exported later as SRT, VTT, ASS or TXT, so what you read on screen is what you publish.
01Twenty languages, one target at a time
The list covers English, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Turkish, Thai, Dutch, Polish, Swedish and Ukrainian. Auto-detect is useful for interviews and streams where the speaker changes language, but a fixed source language usually gives steadier results when you know what you are listening to. Arabic is shown right-to-left, and each session translates into one target language; a broadcast room is the way to offer several audience languages at once.
02Translation that respects names
Machine translation tends to flatten product names, job titles and in-jokes unless you tell it otherwise. A glossary entry pairs a term with the rendering you want and applies it whenever the term appears, which is more reliable than correcting the same name in every paragraph afterwards. Editing the transcript fixes the rest: a misheard number or a sentence that lost its subject can be repaired before export. Translation is generated by software rather than a human reviewer, so check anything that will be published or used in a decision.
