Core features
The heart of Kalima: capturing speech, understanding it across languages, and turning it into something you can read, refine, and act on.
Reliable through interruptions
Kalima is built to keep your recording safe even when your connection is not. If the network drops or transcription stalls, recording keeps going locally and the missed stretch is automatically re-transcribed and merged back in when you reconnect.
Manage & scale
Organize your work, collaborate with others, run a team or organization, and keep your billing and account in order.
Work anywhere
Kalima runs in your browser and as a downloadable desktop app, and you can install it to your home screen or desktop for one-tap access. Whichever you use, it is the same account and the same data, so you can start a session in one place and pick it up in another.
A fast search box in the sidebar searches across your session names and the actual words spoken in your transcripts and translations, so you can jump straight to the moment something was said.
