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 runs entirely on CPU, accepts English audio, and translates it into 51 published target languages. Maximum Quality uses a separate set of 51 selectable languages and can use GPU acceleration or fall back to CPU automatically.
No monthly subscription
No per-minute cloud credits
No cloud usage meter for daily captioning

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.
