Content is translated from English using DeepL Pro.
The DeepL Voice desktop app streams live translated audio during online meetings. A DeepL bot joins your call, captures the audio, translates it, and plays the translated speech through the app while muting the native meeting audio.
- Audio playback only: The app does not capture your microphone or speak into the meeting on your behalf.
- Individual language selection: Each participant runs their own instance of DeepL Voice and selects their preferred language.
- Centralized deployment: IT administrators can deploy the software across organizations.
