## What it is
A lightweight Windows application that combines the built-in Windows 11 LiveCaptions speech-to-text feature with translation APIs (including LLMs) to provide real-time audio and speech translation. It runs on any Windows 11 PC without requiring a Copilot+ machine.

## Use cases
- translate live speech in real time on windows
- add translated subtitles to meetings and videos
- transcribe and translate microphone audio
- real-time captioning for foreign language content
- translate online calls and streams without copilot+ pc

## When to choose
- you are on Windows 11 and need free, low-latency speech translation
- you want to leverage the accurate, resource-light built-in LiveCaptions engine
- you want LLM-powered translation quality for live captions

## When to avoid
- you are not on Windows 11, since LiveCaptions is Windows-only
- you need offline translation without any translation API or LLM access
- you need batch file transcription rather than live audio
