Live Chinese (Simplified) captions and translation
TanLens turns Chinese (Simplified) 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
- 1Open TanLens in Chrome or Edge and choose the language as the source (or leave it on auto-detect).
- 2Start microphone captions, or install the extension and capture the tab that plays the meeting or video.
- 3Pick a target language. Captions show the original line and the translation underneath.
- 4When you stop, save the transcript and export SRT, VTT, ASS or TXT if you need a subtitle file.

Honest limits
- Chinese (Simplified) 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.
