Subtitle Mode — transparent live subtitles overlaid on slides and video
Subtitle Mode displays VoicePing’s live transcription and translation as subtitles with a transparent background, so the captions float directly over whatever you are sharing — slides, a PDF, or a video (YouTube, movies, and more). It is ideal for presentations and webinars where the audience should read along without hiding your content.

​
How to Use

  1. Start a translation. On the Live Translation screen, set your spoken language (microphone icon) and the translation language (“Text & A” icon), then click Start Translation.
Select the spoken and translation languages, then click Start Translation
  1. Set up how the subtitles look. Before presenting, open the Text panel in the top toolbar to adjust the view. Toggle Show original message to show or hide the source language, and set the Translation Text Color (and font size) so the captions read clearly over your content.

  1. Overlay the subtitles on your content. The subtitle window opens with a transparent background. Place it over your slides, PDF, or video and the live captions — source text and translation — appear on top of your material in real time.

  1. Toggle transparent mode. In the floating subtitle window, click the palette icon to switch between transparent mode — where the subtitles overlay your content with a see-through background — and a solid, non-transparent background. You can also toggle Bilingual, or switch the transcription and translation languages.

You can adjust the subtitle text size and color, and hide the transcription language to show only the translation. For the full speaker and participant setup, see Live Audio Translation Subtitles for Seminars.
