Zoom has captions. That's not the same as translation.
Transcription ≠ translation
Zoom transcribes what's said. If the speaker isn't in your language, you still don't understand it. Localingo translates — into your language, as they speak.
Zoom's transcription is built for English
Outside of English, Zoom's accuracy drops and translation isn't offered at all. Localingo supports 90+ languages on equal footing — wherever you or your colleagues are from.
Captions disappear when the call ends
Zoom's captions are gone the moment you close the meeting. Localingo saves every meeting — transcript, translation, and your notes — to your history.
How it works
Join your Zoom meeting as usual
Nothing changes about how you use Zoom. Use the desktop app or browser — Localingo works alongside either.
Allow screen audio when prompted
No installs, no plugins, no bot joining your call. Open Localingo in a browser tab and grant screen audio access when the browser asks — that's all it needs to start translating.
Follow every word, in your language
Live captions appear as people speak, translated into your language in real time. Take notes alongside. Everything is saved to your meeting history.
What you get with every Zoom call
Every word translated as it's spoken
Your Zoom meeting is transcribed and translated into your language within seconds — across 90+ languages — so you follow every word as it happens, not a delayed summary.
Every meeting saved to your history
After the call ends, every Zoom meeting is waiting in your dashboard — full transcript, translation, and a searchable history of everything that was said. Nothing lost when Zoom closes.
Your past meetings, saved and searchable.
