Live German captions and translation

TanLens turns German speech into captions and translates it into any of 20 languages while you watch. It works with a browser tab, your microphone or an uploaded recording, and the transcript keeps both the original line and the translation.

How to caption it

  2. 2Start microphone captions, or install the extension and capture the tab that plays the meeting or video.
  3. 3Pick a target language. Captions show the original line and the translation underneath.
  4. 4When you stop, save the transcript and export SRT, VTT, ASS or TXT if you need a subtitle file.

Honest limits

  • German accuracy depends on the microphone, accent and background noise, and on the speech provider you configure.
  • DRM-protected players can block tab audio capture. Test a specific title before relying on it.
  • Captions are assistive. Do not use them as the only channel for legal or medical interpretation.
