Choose your role. Each one has the questions people in it ask first, answered.

Reporter3 questions

  1. Is it live?

    Yes. Captions and a natural voice follow the speaker as they talk.

  2. Can I have captions without the voice?

    Yes. Choose no voice, and Tolkr™ shows captions only.

  3. Can the captions sit over the stream?

    Yes. The caption window stays above every other window. Lock it, and clicks go through to the app under it.

We run Tolkr™ on a recording or a stream of yours, so you judge it on your own work.
