AI platform for transcription, subtitles, dubbing, and live captioning across many languages.
Felo Subtitles, made by Felo Inc. (Sparticle), is a real-time transcription and translation tool delivered as a Chrome/Edge browser extension plus companion desktop apps for Windows and macOS. It listens to meeting and video audio, recognizes speech, and overlays live captions with instant translation into other languages, so participants can follow conversations across language barriers. The browser extension captions web-based audio such as Google Meet (web), YouTube Live, Twitch, and Facebook Live, while the separate Felo desktop app extends coverage to Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Tencent Meeting without a bot joining the call. It recognizes speech in roughly 23 languages and translates into about 20 target languages. Captured sessions can be saved as transcripts and exported as text, and the tool offers AI summaries using templates for contexts like sales, learning, and one-on-ones. Custom speech and translation dictionaries let teams add industry terminology. It is aimed at IT, research, HR, legal, education, and video-creator users needing multilingual meeting communication.

Maestra is an AI-powered media platform that provides transcription, subtitling, translation, and dubbing for audio and video content, both on demand and in real time. For transcription, users upload audio or video and Maestra produces speech-to-text output with features such as speaker detection, punctuation, and timestamps. The platform can auto-generate subtitles and captions, which users can edit, style, and export in multiple formats, and it can translate that text across a large set of languages. Maestra also offers live transcription for meetings, webinars, and streams, with stated integrations for platforms including Zoom and Microsoft Teams, as well as live production tools. This makes it usable both as a post-production transcription and captioning service and as a real-time captioning layer over live sessions. Maestra is aimed at media companies, content creators, marketers, and organizations that need multilingual transcripts, subtitles, and captions, and that may also want real-time captioning for live events and meetings. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
