Calls in a language that is not your first
Subtl is for people who work in English, or in another shared language, and still think in their own. Here is what that looks like in the calls that matter.
Where it helps
- Sales callsSell in English when it is not your first language: live translation of what the prospect says, answer drafts from your price list, and the follow-up tasks written for you.
- Investor callsPitch to investors in English with live translation of their questions and answer drafts from your own deck and financials. Summary and follow-ups after every call.
- Job interviewsTake a job interview in English when it is not your first language: see each question in your own language, answer in your own words, and review what you said afterwards.
- Customer supportSupport customers in languages your team does not speak: live translation, a glossary for product terms, and ticket notes from every call — with no bot joining.
- Distributed teamsFor remote and offshore teams working in English: live translation of every stand-up, summaries in each person's language, and tasks that actually reach the tracker.
- Lectures and studyFollow online lectures, seminars and talks in a language you are still learning: live transcript with translation, then a summary and key terms to review.
What it does
- Live call translationTranslate Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, WhatsApp and FaceTime calls in real time on your Mac. Original and translation side by side, no bot in the meeting.
- On-device recognitionTranscribe calls entirely on your Mac with Whisper: the audio never leaves the device. Which Macs are fast enough, what it costs in accuracy, and how to switch it on.
- Meeting notes without a botTranscript, summary and task list for any call on your Mac, with no bot joining the meeting. Rename speakers, search every call, export to Markdown with or without translation.
- How it worksSubtl reads the audio your Mac already plays, shows the original and the translation side by side, and stays out of screen shares. What happens, step by step.
