Does it work on Instagram and TikTok?
Yes, as on-screen captions in your stream. You add the Klassifier caption overlay in your streaming tool, so the captions are part of the video. The same applies to Facebook, LinkedIn and WeChat. These platforms do not receive a separate closed-caption track.
Can I get native YouTube closed captions?
Yes, in beta. Klassifier can send captions to YouTube's caption ingestion URL, so they appear as YouTube's own closed captions that viewers can turn on and off. YouTube accepts one caption language per stream, and you can use the on-screen overlay alongside it.
How many languages are supported?
Captions can be translated into 100+ languages. You choose the caption language, or show the original and the translation together.
Do I need special hardware?
No. You use the tools you already have: OBS, vMix, StreamYard or a similar streaming tool for live streams, or your meeting app for meetings. Klassifier runs in your browser.
Can viewers read captions in their own language?
Yes. Share the caption link and viewers open it on their phone or computer to read live subtitles in the language they choose.
Which meeting platforms are supported?
Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, VooV Meeting and LINE, in addition to Zoom. Teams, Webex and VooV Meeting send audio by RTMP live streaming (Webex needs a paid plan with live streaming enabled by an administrator; VooV Meeting needs Business or Enterprise). Google Meet works with the Klassifier Chrome extension, and LINE or any desktop app works by capturing the host computer's audio.
Can I show the original and the translation at the same time?
Yes. The overlay can show the translated captions only, or the original words together with the translation.
How is this different from Live Broadcast Translation?
Live captions focus on text: translated captions in your stream, on a caption link and in meetings, set up by yourself in the web app. Live Broadcast Translation also offers translated AI voice for live broadcasts.
