🖥️ System needs

TransEcho is made for standard desktop computers.

• Windows 10 or Windows 11
• A working speaker or headset
• A microphone if you want voice input too
• Internet access for live translation services
• Enough free memory for audio capture and live text display

For best results, use a wired headset or a quiet room when you need speech input.

🔊 How to use it

1. Capture system audio

Select system audio capture inside the app. This lets TransEcho listen to sound that plays on your computer, such as:

• Meeting audio
• Video sound
• Online classes
• Live streams
• Calls in speaker mode

2. Pick your languages

Choose the language you hear and the language you want to read or hear back. TransEcho sends the audio through speech to text, then into translation, then into subtitles and voice output.

3. Turn on subtitles

Subtitles appear on screen in real time. This helps when you want to read the translation while listening to the source audio.

4. Turn on voice output

If you want spoken translation, enable text to speech. TransEcho will speak the translated text after it is processed.

5. Adjust the view

You can keep the subtitle window visible while you work. This is useful for long sessions and for following fast speech.

🎯 Best use cases

TransEcho works well when you need live interpretation in everyday situations:

🧭 Simple setup tips

• Use the latest release from the download page.
