Read your Google Meet call in your own language
Jinsoku translates Google Meet calls as people speak. It listens to the browser tab your call is in, so there's no bot in the meeting, no integration to approve, and nothing for anyone else to install.
How it works
Open your call at meet.google.com in Chrome or Edge on your computer. In Jinsoku, open Live Meeting Translate, press Start, pick the call's tab and tick "Share tab audio". Translated captions and a running summary appear while people talk.
Getting Google Meet into a browser tab
Google Meet already runs in the browser, so there's nothing extra to do. Open the meeting link in Chrome or Edge as usual and share that tab with Jinsoku.
After the call
When the call ends you get a transcript with speakers labeled ("Speaker 1", "Speaker 2") and an AI summary you can review and export, instead of half-remembered notes.
What it costs
The free plan shows live captions of the call in the language being spoken. Live translation comes with Spark at $2 a week or $8.99 a month, or Bolt at $30 a month.
Questions people ask
Does Jinsoku join my Google Meet call?
No. There is no bot and no Google Meet integration. Jinsoku only listens to the browser tab you choose to share. Nothing joins the call except you.
Can the other people on my call hear the translation?
No. In Live Meeting Translate you read translated captions, and an optional spoken readout in a neutral AI voice plays only on your own device. Jinsoku sends no audio into the call, so nobody else hears it and nobody else installs anything.
Which browser do I need?
Live Meeting Translate reads the audio of a browser tab, which needs Chrome or Edge on a desktop or laptop. Open your call in that browser, press Start in Jinsoku, pick the call's tab and tick "Share tab audio".
Do I need permission to translate the call?
You need the right to record and translate the calls you join. Jinsoku doesn't check consent for you, so tell the other people on the call if that's expected where you are.
