Powerful Features

Everything you need for real-time subtitle translation, running entirely on your machine.

Real-time Subtitles

Capture system audio or microphone with WASAPI and turn Windows voice into live captions or translated subtitles. Latency varies by hardware and settings.

Local Core Pipeline

Core captions and translation run on your PC. Enabling the assistant sends conversation text and your guide to Codex/OpenAI. The Aurora license does not include unlimited Codex usage.

More Than 50 Supported Languages

Aurora translates locally with its translator across the supported language set, using simple language names in the app.

GPU Acceleration

GPU acceleration is optional: Maximum Compatibility runs on CPU, while Maximum Quality uses the GPU when available and falls back to CPU.

Smart Overlay

Transparent, customizable, click-through subtitle window. Adjust fonts, colors, position & opacity to your taste.

Realtime AI Stack

Aurora uses a local transcriber, Silero VAD, and a local translator. GPU acceleration is optional, with automatic CPU fallback.

Why Aurora?

Live captions and translation without renting access every month

Aurora Subtitles is built for people who want real-time captions and translation without monthly plans, usage limits, or credit-based pricing.

Maximum Compatibility accepts English audio and translates it into 51 published target languages on CPU. Maximum Quality uses a separate set of 51 selectable languages with optional GPU acceleration and automatic CPU fallback.

No monthly subscription

No per-minute cloud credits

No cloud usage meter for daily captioning

Core transcription and translation run locally

Works with microphone and Windows system audio

Discord, meetings, games, streams, and accessibility workflows

Why Aurora does not need a monthly subscription

Cloud live translation services often charge monthly fees because every minute of audio can create ongoing server costs. Aurora takes a different approach: it runs the core transcription and translation pipeline locally on your own Windows PC.

Maximum Compatibility works entirely on CPU, while Maximum Quality can accelerate on a compatible GPU and automatically fall back to CPU.

  • One-time payment instead of recurring monthly payments
  • No per-minute cloud credit system
  • No need to rent transcription infrastructure for everyday use
  • Better fit for frequent users, gamers, stream watchers, students, professionals, and accessibility workflows

Stop renting live translation. Run it locally.

Built also for hearing support

Aurora Subtitles is not a medical device, but it can help Windows users who rely on captions follow voice conversations, meetings, videos, streams, and everyday PC audio with live captions and translated subtitles.

For conversations with friends and family, captions do not need to translate anything. Set English → English or Spanish → Spanish for transcription-only captions; the CPU presets bypass the translator on these same-language paths. Translated subtitles are a separate mode: they change the spoken language and use the translation stage.

The configurable overlay can fit accessibility workflows when built-in captions do not cover a specific app, audio source, or workflow need.

  • Live captions for Windows voice calls
  • Captions for online meetings and video calls
  • Transcription-only captions for English and Spanish conversations
  • Subtitles for streams, videos, and online content
  • Hearing support for people who rely on captions
  • Translation when the original language is difficult to follow

Aurora Subtitles is not a medical device and is not a replacement for professional accessibility services, human interpreters, or legally required accessibility accommodations.

Aurora listens to microphone or system audio on Windows using native capture with low latency.

Transcriber + Silero VAD

Aurora uses a local transcriber and Silero VAD to segment speech and keep latency low.

Local translation

Text is translated locally using the selected preset, with automatic CPU/GPU routing where supported.

Overlay subtitles

Translated subtitles appear on screen as a customizable overlay for games, meetings, and streams.
