What is Fraze?
Fraze adds live captions and translated subtitles to any audio on a Mac or Windows PC, from Zoom, Teams and Meet calls to videos and lectures. Speech recognition and translation run entirely on your computer, so audio and transcripts never leave it.
It listens to system audio or your microphone and shows the original line next to its translation, without adding a bot to the meeting. Speech is recognised in 31 languages and translated into about 50, and it keeps working with Wi-Fi turned off once language packs are downloaded. The site lists every network connection the app can make so you can check it with a firewall.
New users get 30 free minutes with no card. After that you can pay a small monthly fee, which needs an online plan check every 30 days, or buy a lifetime licence once that works offline indefinitely. English accuracy is described as close to cloud services, with other languages a little behind.
