Check source and translation
Captions make it easier to inspect what was recognized and translated before relying only on generated voice.
Live Translation Captions
Turn live voice into translated captions you can check.
VoxShift is not only about translated speech output. It also helps you review source and translated captions as real-time AI subtitles, then use OBS WebSocket text source updates when you want captions in a stream layout.

Rehearse before going live
Caption timing, line breaks, latency, and GPU load vary by setup. Test with the Free Trial before production use.
Fit Check
Where VoxShift fits, and where it does not.
Good fit
- You want translated speech output for Discord, game VC, or OBS streams
- You need more than subtitles and want your voice chat partners to hear translated speech
- You want to test GPU, VRAM, audio devices, and latency with a Free Trial first
Use caution
- You need zero-latency simultaneous interpretation or perfect speaker separation
- You need high-stakes medical, legal, financial, or emergency translation
- You plan to use another person's voice without clear consent

FAQ
Common questions
Is this the built-in Windows Live Captions feature? +
No. VoxShift is a Windows app for voice translation and caption workflows. It is separate from OS-level live captions.
Can I use captions without translated speech? +
You can use caption checking as part of the workflow. VoxShift is strongest when captions, translated speech, and routing are tested together.
Can it translate system or desktop audio? +
VoxShift includes workflows for checking microphone or desktop audio input. App-specific capture and source separation depend on your Windows audio setup, so test the Free Trial first.
Can it capture only one specific app? +
The first version does not guarantee perfect per-app audio capture or source separation. It depends on your Windows audio device setup, so test the exact app and route with the Free Trial.
Can I use it as a translated caption overlay? +
For OBS streams, VoxShift is designed around text source updates that can be placed as a caption overlay. It does not guarantee a universal always-on-top overlay across every Windows app.
Are captions guaranteed to be accurate? +
No. Recognition and translation quality depend on audio quality, speech, language pair, selected models, and PC performance.
