Watch any YouTube video in your language
Everything you need to understand videos in languages you don't speak.

Context-aware, ultra-accurate
JotMe translates meaning, not words. Every line considers who is speaking, what your team is working on, what has been said so far in the meeting, your custom terms, and how the sentence connects to the last one. Slang, jargon, and technical words come out right.
Works without captions
YouTube auto-translate needs the video to already have subtitles. JotMe translates the audio itself, so it works on any video, stream, or premiere, captions or not.
200+ languages, live or from a recording
Translate YouTube audio into 200+ languages while you watch, or upload a downloaded video file for a translated transcript.
Your translation is saved
Transcript and translation are saved to your dashboard after every video, so nothing disappears when you close the tab.
No bot, no setup
JotMe runs on your computer and captures the video audio locally, so nothing installs in your browser and it works with any video site.

Custom dictionary and auto language detection
Improve accuracy with industry-specific terms and custom replacements. JotMe also detects the spoken language automatically, so you never set it by hand.
