Can we get this transcript in Spanish too?

¿Podemos tener esta transcripción también en español?

Summary ready

In real time

Translation appears beside the transcript while people speak. Participants can follow the discussion during the meeting instead of waiting for a translated recap after decisions have already been made.

Keeps the context

The original text remains visible next to the translation, so names, terminology, and meaning can be checked in context. Add expected-language hints and session context when you know what the conversation will cover.

Export the result

Keep the translated transcript with the original or export a translated subtitle track for later use. SRT and VTT preserve timing, while other formats support review, archiving, and downstream work.

One-way or two-way

Translate everyone into one target language for a presentation, or set up two-way translation when two languages share a conversation. Choose the mode when you start the session and read both sides together.

Built for language changes

Kalima supports multilingual conversations and code-switching within a session. Expected-language hints help narrow what to listen for, while language badges show how the transcript was identified.

Works with recordings too

Use translation during a live meeting or add it to an uploaded audio or video file. The result stays attached to the session, ready for Studio review, sharing, and export.

Questions, answered

The things people ask most before they start.

Live translation streams next to the original transcript as people speak, so you can follow the meeting in your language in real time. The translated text also remains with the session after recording stops. You can review it beside the source, correct the transcript where needed, share the session, or export a translated subtitle track later.
Kalima supports live translation across more than 60 languages. The original and translated text appear side by side, which helps you keep the source wording available when a name or technical term needs checking. Language availability can differ by feature, so use the language selector in the session setup to confirm the combination you need.
Kalima is designed for multilingual and code-switching conversations, including speakers who change language during a session. Automatic detection follows the audio, and expected-language hints can tell the system which languages are most likely. Keep the original visible beside the translation so you can review names, jargon, and any phrase where the detected language was uncertain.
One-way translation turns all recognized speech into one target language. It suits presentations, webinars, and meetings where most listeners share the same reading language. Two-way translation is for a conversation between two languages, with each side translated for the other. Choose the mode when starting the session because it defines how the live translation is produced.
Yes. Translation is available for supported uploaded audio and video files as well as live sessions. Select the relevant language settings when you prepare the file, then review the original and translation in Studio. You can export the translated result as subtitles or another supported transcript format once processing is complete.
Open the Live Translation guide in the Kalima Help Center. It explains one-way and two-way modes, session setup, side-by-side reading, quality, sharing, exporting, and practical preparation. The Languages and Detection guide covers automatic detection, expected-language hints, multilingual sessions, code-switching, and tips for helping Kalima identify the languages you expect.
Yes. Share the session when colleagues or guests need to read the original and translated text, using the access controls available for that session. You can also export a translated SRT or VTT track for video and caption workflows. Before sharing outside your team, review names, specialized terms, and sensitive content against the original transcript, then restrict or revoke access when it is no longer needed.
Yes. The source transcript remains visible beside the translated text, both during the live session and during later review in Studio. This helps readers check names, terminology, and ambiguous phrases without losing what was actually recognized. Keep both tracks available until you have reviewed the result, especially when the conversation contains specialized language or switches between languages.
