SonicCaption
SonicCaption adds live bilingual captions to whatever is playing in your browser — YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, Zoom calls and other streaming or meeting sources — without uploading any files. Captions are generated in real time and shown as an overlay, so a viewer can follow along in two languages at once, which is the feature most caption tools skip in favor of single-language transcription after the fact. It keeps a caption history with export, so a meeting or stream can be saved as text afterwards. The browser-based approach means there is nothing to install and no media leaves your machine for processing queues. It is freemium, so the core captioning can be tried before paying. The honest limits: it works on audio playing in the browser rather than on uploaded files, and real-time translation quality will vary with audio clarity and language pair.
