Can I use StreamVox for phone calls?

Last updated July 7, 2026

Yes! StreamVox can add live subtitles to your phone calls. How you set it up depends on your platform.

On Windows

Connect your iPhone or Android phone to Windows using Microsoft Phone Link, and StreamVox will display live subtitles for your phone calls directly on your PC screen.

  1. Install Phone Link on your Windows PC (it's built-in on Windows 11).
  2. Pair your phone with Phone Link.
  3. Start StreamVox.
  4. When a call comes in, audio routes through your PC speakers — StreamVox sees it and subtitles appear.

On a Mac

If your iPhone is signed in with the same Apple ID and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Mac, Apple's Continuity feature lets an incoming iPhone call ring on your Mac too. Answer the call on your Mac, and StreamVox subtitles it live — just like any other audio.

Continuity calls require the iPhone and Mac to share the same Apple ID and Wi-Fi network. Answering Android calls on a Mac isn't available — that's currently a Windows-only capability via Phone Link.

What StreamVox does — and doesn't do

StreamVox listens to the other person's voice on the call and shows you live subtitles in your chosen language. It does not translate your outgoing voice — the person on the other end hears you exactly as you speak.
