Live translation for meetings
Speak your language. They hear theirs.
Join the meeting as you always do. You hear the others in your language, and they hear you in theirs.
- 01Both waystheir words in yours, yours in theirs
- 02Nothing newfor the others, they join as they always do
- 0336 languageswith a voice, in both directions
Both directions
One conversation, two languages.
Choose your language and theirs. Both directions need a voice in both languages, so the lists hold the 36 languages Tolkr™ speaks.
Them to you
You to them
Their original voice stays quietly under the translation in your ears.
Three ways
Take part the way the meeting needs.
Choose one before the meeting starts.
- You join the meeting on your PC, with headphones on
- Tolkr™ hears the meeting app, and only that app
- You hear the others in your language; they hear you in theirs
The others need nothing new. Your translated voice reaches them as your microphone does.
- The host turns on captions from outside apps
- You paste the meeting's caption link into Tolkr™
- Everyone reads your words, translated, as the meeting's own captions
Only the translated text goes to the meeting service, and only while you choose it. It works where the meeting service accepts captions from outside apps.
- The host makes this PC the interpreter of one language
- Tolkr™ hears the meeting and speaks it in that language
- Listeners choose that language in the meeting's own menu
One direction, for many listeners. A separate account on the interpreting PC is best, and that PC needs no headphones.
What you need
Four things on your side.
- A Windows PCWith the meeting app on the same PC as Tolkr™.
- Wired headphonesSo your microphone does not hear the translated voice of the others.
- A microphoneThe one you use for calls today.
- A virtual microphoneA small audio driver, installed once when we set Tolkr™ up with you. The meeting app takes your translated voice from it.
Test my setup
Before the call, Tolkr™ checks your PC and says what to change.
- The virtual microphone is installed
- The meeting app is open, and Tolkr™ hears it
- The meeting app takes its microphone from Tolkr™
- Your headphones are in use, not speakers
- Windows does not lower other sounds during calls
- Windows lets Tolkr™ use your microphone
During the call
Both directions on one screen.
Each direction has its own lane, line by line, the original small and the translation large.
Them to you
来週の会議は火曜日に移します。We will move next week's meeting to Tuesday.
資料は前日までに送ります。We will send the documents the day before.
You to them
Tuesday works for us.火曜日で大丈夫です。
Please send the figures too.数字も送ってください。

Asked first.
Not answered here? Ask the people who build it
Do the others need Tolkr™?
No. They join as they always do. Only your side runs Tolkr™.
Why headphones?
Without them your microphone hears the translated voice of the others and sends it back into the meeting.
Which meeting apps work?
The main meeting apps on Windows, in their own app or in the browser. We set yours up with you in a demo.
What goes to the meeting service?
What any participant sends: your voice, here translated. With captions for everyone, also the translated text.
Is the meeting kept?
Yes. Each direction is saved on your systems as a session, in a folder you control.
Hold your next meeting in two languages.
We set Tolkr™ up with your meeting app and a test call, so you judge it on your own systems.
