Use case
Live translation and captions for webinars
Add live translated captions to a webinar playing in the browser, share them with attendees, and export the transcript for follow-up.
TanLens adds live translated captions to a webinar that plays in a Chrome or Edge tab. The host keeps using the webinar platform for registration, slides and Q&A, while TanLens handles the speech-to-text and translation layer. The transcript is saved only when the host asks, and it can be exported once the event ends.
01The webinar platform stays in charge
Run the event in the platform you already use, then capture its tab with the TanLens extension. TanLens does not register attendees, manage chat, or control slides; it only listens to the audio and adds captions. That separation is deliberate, because it means the host can keep the platform’s own recording, polls and Q&A while adding a translated view. If attendees need their own language, the host can create a broadcast room on Max or Team and share the viewer link before the first speaker starts.
02After the webinar
A webinar transcript is useful long after the live hour: it becomes the follow-up email, the on-demand page and the source for short clips. Edit names and product claims first, because those are the sentences that get quoted. Export VTT for the replay player, SRT for the video editor, or TXT for the written recap. Keep the host’s own recording as the video source; TanLens provides the text layer, not the video file.
