Shortlist Felo Subtitles when following and translating multilingual video meetings on zoom, google meet, teams, or webex in real time matters most, and Typist when generating srt or webvtt captions for podcasts and videos matters most.

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.

Typist is an AI transcription service that converts audio and video files into text and caption files. Users upload recordings in common formats such as MP3, MP4, M4A, WAV, OGG, FLAC, and WebM, and Typist returns a transcript that can be exported to DOCX, SRT subtitles, WebVTT captions, PDF, or plain text. The platform offers multiple transcription models, described as Turbo for speed, Pro for a balance of speed and accuracy, and Studio for the highest accuracy, with the Studio tier adding speaker identification. Typist supports a wide range of languages and accents and provides word-level and segment-level timestamps, which makes it suitable for producing subtitles that import cleanly into video editors. The product positions itself around fast turnaround for pre-recorded content and predictable, credit-based usage. Its documented use cases span lectures, podcasts, interviews, research and client calls, and consulting meetings, alongside students, therapists, and video editors. A free tier with a limited number of minutes lets new users try the service before moving to paid plans, and a web dashboard handles uploads, transcription, and exports. Pricing varies by plan.
