How it works
Live captions in three steps
01
Launch your game
Start any game or party chat. StreamVox listens to the audio your computer plays — no mods or game files touched.
02
Turn on Borderless mode
Use Borderless (windowed-fullscreen) so the StreamVox overlay can stay on top of the game while you play.
03
Read as you play
Dialogue, cutscenes, and teammates are translated live and shown in an overlay you position out of the action.
Why StreamVox
Why StreamVox for gaming
Play untranslated titles
Enjoy Japanese and other region-locked games before any localization — StreamVox subtitles the dialogue in real time.
Follow voice chat
Understand teammates and opponents in multiplayer — even when the lobby isn't speaking your language.
Overlay that stays out of the way
Move, resize, and fade the overlay so subtitles never block the action on screen.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can StreamVox translate Japanese games with no English option?
Yes. StreamVox recognizes in-game speech and translates it live, so you can play untranslated Japanese and other imports in your language.
Does the overlay show over a fullscreen game?
Use Borderless (windowed-fullscreen) mode and the StreamVox overlay stays on top of the game while you play.
Can it subtitle multiplayer voice chat?
Yes. StreamVox translates voice audio from your computer, so you can follow teammates and opponents in 49+ languages.
Will it slow down my game?
StreamVox is built for real-time use and runs alongside your game; close other heavy apps for the smoothest experience.
Is any game audio stored?
No. Audio is translated on the fly and never saved, so nothing from your session is recorded.
