Native

A real Mac app, built for macOS, not a web page in a window.

On your Mac

Recognition, translation and speech run on your Mac.

Two-way

Made for conversations where people speak different languages.

Free to start

Translate with your microphone, keep transcripts and get summaries at no cost.

The problem

You shouldn't need to struggle to understand a meeting.

  1. Someone speaks too fast.

    A name, a number, a date. One missed sentence can change what a meeting means.

  2. Too many windows.

    The call in one app, a translator in another, notes somewhere else. Your attention ends up in all three.

  3. The context disappears.

    When the call ends, what was decided and who owns it is hard to put back together.

01 Live translation

Follow the conversation as it unfolds.

When someone finishes a thought, LiveMeet shows what was said and its translation together, original first, translation right underneath. Choose any two of the four supported languages. Whoever speaks sets the direction, so a two-way conversation just works.

  • Original and translation side by side, turn by turn
  • English, Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese
  • Translate your own voice with the microphone
  • Translate other participants with system audio Pro

Translation arrives a few seconds after each pause. It is turn-based, not simultaneous interpretation.

Let's start with the launch plan for the new app.

02 Speak and listen

Don't just read the translation. Hear it.

Turn on Speak and LiveMeet reads each translation aloud, so you can keep your eyes on the screen being shared instead of on subtitles. It uses the voices built into macOS. Install an Enhanced voice in System Settings and speech gets clearer.

  • Spoken translation in your target language
  • A floating Compact Translator that stays on top ⇧⌘T
  • Option to hide it from screen sharing
  • Speaking translations aloud is part of Pro Pro

Voice quality depends on the macOS voice you have installed. LiveMeet doesn't download voices.

03 Meeting review

The conversation doesn't end when the meeting does.

When a meeting is over, LiveMeet turns the transcript into something you can review: a summary, the decisions that were made, who owes what, and a mind map of the discussion. It is generated on your Mac, and every item links back to the moment it came from.

The Summary view of a finished meeting: an overview, key discussion points, and decisions marked Confirmed or Proposed.

Real LiveMeet screens · sample meeting content

  • Summary and key points

    An overview of what was discussed, with the main points in order.

  • Decisions, confirmed or proposed

    Each decision says whether it was agreed or only raised.

  • Action items

    Tasks with an owner and a due date when they were mentioned, and "Not specified" when they weren't.

  • Numbers, dates and open questions

    The details that are easiest to lose, collected in one place.

  • An interactive mind map

    Pan, zoom, search and fold branches to see how the discussion fits together.

  • Always traceable

    Jump from any point back to the exact sentence in the transcript to check it.

Summaries and mind maps are written by an AI model and can contain mistakes. That is why every item links back to the transcript. They are written in the language of your interface (English or Vietnamese) and are included in the free plan.

04 Privacy

It contains no networking code and has no network entitlement in the macOS sandbox. Purchases go through the App Store, which handles them itself.
Audio isn't kept.
Sound is processed in memory and discarded after it has been recognized.
You decide about transcripts.
Finished meetings are saved as text only, in LiveMeet's own folder on your Mac. A setting turns that off.
You can always see when it listens.
macOS shows its own indicator while the microphone or system audio is in use.

We say "on your Mac" rather than "offline" on purpose: we haven't finished testing complete operation with the network disconnected, and we only claim what we have verified.

05 Designed for macOS

Feels right at home on your Mac.

LiveMeet is a native app with a sidebar, light and dark appearance, and a window that adapts as you resize it. It sits alongside your other apps like it belongs there.

07 Questions

Good questions, plain answers.

What LiveMeet does today, including what it doesn't do yet.

What is LiveMeet?

LiveMeet is a native Mac app that helps you follow meetings held in a language you don't fully speak. It listens, shows what was said with its translation, can read the translation aloud, and afterwards turns the meeting into a summary and mind map you can review.

Does LiveMeet work on my Mac?

LiveMeet runs on Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 14 or later. Intel Macs aren't supported. It has been tested on a 16 GB MacBook Pro; Macs with less memory haven't been verified yet.

Does it translate meetings in real time?

Almost. LiveMeet is turn-based: when a speaker pauses, it recognizes and translates what they said, and the translation appears a few seconds later. It isn't simultaneous interpretation, but it keeps you in the conversation.

Can I hear translated speech?

Yes. With Speak turned on (part of Pro), LiveMeet reads each translation aloud using the voices built into macOS. Installing an Enhanced voice in System Settings gives clearer speech.

Does LiveMeet work offline?

Listening, recognition, translation and speech all run on your Mac rather than on a server. We deliberately don't claim "fully offline" yet, because we haven't finished verifying complete operation with the network disconnected. Buying or restoring Pro uses the App Store.

Is my meeting audio uploaded to the cloud?

No. The app sends no audio or text anywhere: it contains no networking code and has no network entitlement. Audio isn't stored, and finished meetings are saved on your Mac as text only. You can turn saving off in Settings.

Which languages are supported?

Vietnamese, English, Chinese (Simplified) and Japanese, in any pair. Translation is strongest between Vietnamese and English. Pairs that involve Chinese or Japanese are currently less accurate. AI translation can make mistakes, especially with names, technical terms and numbers, so check anything important.

Which meeting apps are supported?

LiveMeet doesn't plug into specific meeting apps. With the microphone it hears you and the room. With system audio (Pro) it listens to the sound your Mac plays, so remote participants can be translated too. That captures the whole system sound, not a single app, and we haven't yet verified it with particular meeting apps.

Is there a subscription?

Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase. The free plan stays useful on its own: microphone translation, transcripts, history, summaries and mind maps.

Can I purchase Lifetime access?

Yes. Pro Lifetime is a single purchase that doesn't renew and keeps Pro unlocked. Prices are listed above.
