For the room you're sitting in, not the one you're running.
Point your own phone at the lecture, the meeting, or the sermon and read a live transcript — translated if you want it.
One person, one session · $24.99 / month, plus extra hours from $12.99 that never expire
The sessions nobody is going to run for you.
Lectures, classes, and training
A live transcript takes the note-taking off you — and if the course is in a language you are still building, read it in yours instead.
Meetings, site visits, and interviews
Transcribe in the original language, or translate as it happens. Tell people first. Consent rules for recording and transcribing vary by country and by setting, and this is your call to make, not ours.
A conversation, not an audience
Conversation mode turns two phones into a two-way translated exchange — each person speaks their own language and reads the other's.
Something you already have a link to
Paste a link to an episode from Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or an RSS feed and get the same transcript, translation, notes, and questions over it.
This is a tool for following and remembering, not a professional interpreting or transcription service. A medical consultation, a legal appointment or a contract negotiation needs a qualified human.
Everything you've sat through, in one searchable place.
Every session you capture lands in a history that stays yours — with your highlights, your notes, your photos, and the audio if you kept it.

Questions about using it for yourself.
Is it legal to transcribe a meeting I'm in?
That depends entirely on where you are and what the meeting is, and it is your responsibility rather than ours. The short version everywhere: tell people. We built the recording switch to default to off, and a session can keep the text without keeping any audio, but neither of those is legal cover.
Which phone do I need?
Capturing your own session works in the Koine app on iPhone and on Android. Joining someone else's room also works in any phone browser.
What does a "language-hour" mean here?
One language translated for one hour. Transcribing without translating is cheaper — it uses about a third of an hour for each hour you capture, so the four hours included in Live Pro stretch to roughly twelve hours of plain transcription.
Can I keep the audio?
Yes, with a per-session switch. Leave it off and only the transcript is kept and the audio is discarded. Turn it on and you get replay afterwards as well.
