Akkadu

Play a video, join a Zoom call or tune into a live stream, and Akkadu puts subtitles on screen in your own language as people speak.

That is the whole idea behind this live captioning tool, which covers more than 90 languages.

Akkadu is an AI captioning and translation tool for webinars, video conferences, live streams and recorded video.

It works with platforms such as Zoom, Teams, YouTube Live and Netflix, so you are not tied to a single app.

The range of languages is the main draw if your meetings or audiences cross borders.

It sits across several jobs at once: speech recognition, transcription, subtitle generation and translation, so one tool can cover a multilingual meeting and a foreign-language show.

Check how well it handles the specific languages you need before relying on it for anything important, since accuracy tends to vary between them.
