Quick Start
Install Transifyr, choose your audio source, select languages, then start a live translation session.
Download the desktop build for Windows or macOS and open Transifyr.
Use Microphone for your voice, System Audio for meetings/videos, or Both for conversations.
Pick the spoken language and the translation language. Use auto-detect when unsure.
Press Start and keep the overlay visible while you work, watch, or listen.
Audio Setup
Audio source controls what Transifyr listens to. Most meeting and video workflows should use System Audio.
Translate your own speech or practice speaking in another language.
Translate Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, YouTube, movies, courses, and browser calls.
Use when you need a two-sided conversation transcript.
Get API Keys from Providers
Transifyr can work with multiple speech, translation, and AI providers. Create keys from the provider dashboard, paste them into Settings → API Keys, then save.
Create a Soniox account, open the developer console, generate an API key, then use it for real-time speech recognition.
Open Soniox →Sign in to DeepL API, choose Free or Pro, copy the authentication key, then use it as a translation engine.
Open DeepL API →Create an OpenAI platform account, add billing if required, create a project key, then paste it into Transifyr.
Open OpenAI keys →Open Google AI Studio, create an API key, then use it for AI explanation, summaries, or assisted workflows.
Open AI Studio →Install Ollama, pull a supported model, keep the local server running, then configure the local endpoint in Transifyr.
Open Ollama →Never share your API keys publicly. If a key is leaked, revoke it in the provider dashboard and create a new one.
