A two-way translator for any meeting app. You read everyone else in live captions, and when you speak, they hear you in their language.
Works in Zoom, Teams, Google Meet and any meeting app. Free to start on Mac and Windows.
Pick the language they speak and the language you speak, then press start. Captions and the interpreter run from the same window.
Captions let you understand the room. The interpreter lets the room understand you: in a voice, in their language.
Built for meetings where not everyone shares a language.
Understand speech in 56 languages and read captions in any of them, including Simplified and Traditional Chinese. Auto-detect handles meetings where people switch languages.
Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, browser calls, even a recording — if your computer plays it, Arasso can caption it. Nothing joins the call and nobody else installs anything.
Show the original and the translation together, or keep just the translation. Switch at any time, even mid-meeting.
Review what was said after the meeting, and delete any session — or all of them — from your device at any time. Caption text is also kept on our servers for 90 days to improve quality, then deleted.
Start free. Pay for captions, or add an interpreter that speaks for you.

Any app that plays audio on your computer: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, calls in a browser tab, or a recording you're playing back. Arasso listens to the audio your computer plays through the operating system's own audio APIs — the same class of activity as a screen recorder. It doesn't join the meeting as a participant and doesn't install anything into the meeting app.
No. Captions appear only on your screen, and nobody else needs an account, an app, or a settings change. The same goes for the interpreter: participants simply hear a voice in their language.
Arasso understands speech in 56 languages, with auto-detect for meetings where people switch between languages, and can show captions in any of them — including Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
Yes, that's the interpreter, in Arasso for Windows and for Mac. You speak in your language and the meeting hears an AI voice saying it in theirs. The app's setup gives you a virtual microphone (Arasso Microphone on Mac, VB-CABLE on Windows); pick it as your microphone in the meeting app and set the two languages once. Captions keep running while it works. The first 5 minutes are free; after that, interpreter hours come with Plus and above or as prepaid hours in the app.
Your free 20 minutes of captions reset every Monday at 00:00 UTC. Unused minutes don't carry over. The app shows the reset time in your local time zone.
The interpreter is in Arasso for Windows and for Mac (Apple silicon, macOS 14.6 or later). On Mac the app installs its own Arasso Microphone during setup; on Windows the setup guides you through installing VB-Audio's free VB-CABLE. Then pick the virtual microphone as your microphone in Zoom, Teams, or Meet: “Arasso Microphone” on Mac, “CABLE Output” on Windows. Set the pair once, the language they speak and the language you speak, and live captions keep running alongside. When the interpreter is not translating, the meeting hears your own voice through the same microphone. Headphones are recommended so the interpreter never hears itself. The voice is AI-generated, and like any interpreter it can make mistakes: keep captions on to check.
On Windows the interpreter's voice reaches the meeting through VB-CABLE, a free virtual audio cable by VB-Audio. Arasso's setup sends you to vb-audio.com to install it; it needs administrator rights once and sometimes a restart. On Mac, Arasso installs its own Arasso Microphone instead.
We do not store audio. Meeting audio is streamed for transcription and translation while your session is active and is not kept on our servers. The caption text (transcripts and translations) is retained on our servers for 90 days to monitor and improve quality, then deleted automatically; your transcript history also lives on your own device, where you can delete it at any time. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.
A 64-bit PC with Windows 10 (version 2004 or later) or Windows 11, or a Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 14.6 or later, plus an internet connection. Captions need no microphone: Arasso listens to the meeting, not to you. The interpreter needs a microphone, and headphones are recommended.
