MeeLang

MeeLang is a browser extension for one specific frustration: sitting in a meeting, lecture or live stream in a language you don't speak well enough to keep up with. Rather than recording the call and translating it afterwards, MeeLang reads the audio of the tab you are on and floats AI-translated subtitles over the meeting or video in real time, so you read the meaning while the speaker is still talking. It works in Google Meet, the browser versions of Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Webex, and on YouTube videos and live streams.

What separates MeeLang from meeting-bot translators is its footprint. Nothing joins the call on your behalf, the host and other participants do not install anything, and there is no shared meeting link to invite a service into. Translation happens on your side of the conversation, which keeps adoption friction close to zero and avoids the awkward moment of a visible recording bot appearing on everyone's screen. The extension also stores bilingual transcripts locally in your browser rather than on the vendor's servers, and you can export or delete them whenever you want. That combination makes it usable for client calls and internal stand-ups where data handling matters.

Beyond live speech, MeeLang handles video content: it can translate a YouTube video using its existing captions or fall back to reading the audio when no captions exist. Coverage spans more than 30 languages with automatic source detection, and the interface supports both a translated subtitle view and a bilingual view showing original and translation together. The product is offered as a Chrome extension with a genuinely usable free tier and a low-cost Pro plan, and the roadmap lists AI meeting summaries and speaker identification as shipped, with live voice dubbing and team cloud sync still planned.
